Attorney Wan-gyu Lee and Seok-woong Lee, who are representatives, were attended by President Yoon, and attorney Ok-hyung Lee on the side of Minister Chu.
The court will conduct an interrogation by listening to the opinions of both sides for about 30 minutes and asking for explanations about the contents necessary for the judgment.
Interrogations are conducted privately.
As with the contents of the application, President Yoon is expected to intensively prove the procedural illegality of the damage and disciplinary action inevitable due to the absence of the Prosecutor General.
On the other hand, Minister Chu is expected to argue that it is a legitimate disciplinary sanctioned by the President, and that the maintenance of General Yoon's duties will threaten the fairness of the prosecution.
The quotation or dismissal may appear as early as today, but it is generally observed that the outline will be outlined on the 23rd to 24th.
President Yoon will be able to return to his job immediately upon citation of the application, and upon dismissal, he will be dishonored of two months of suspension.
