President Yoon's side points out procedural issues in Constitutional Court hearings - South Korea

In the South Korean presidential impeachment trial, President Yoon Seok-yeol's side filed a petition on the 7th against the Constitutional Court, which is in charge of the trial, stating that he had filed a petition against the Constitutional Court, including Professor Emeritus Heo Young of Kyung Hee University's Graduate School of Law.
