The Constitutional Court will announce its ruling on President Yoon Suk-yeol's impeachment trial on the 4th. The eight current judges have experience with a 4-4 split opinion in the impeachment trial of Lee Jin-suk, the Chair of the Broadcasting and Communications Commission. Other major cases were decided unanimously, though some judges presented separate opinions regarding the reasoning of their rulings. The Constitutional Court requires approval from at least six judges to decide on the removal of a public official. For the substantive judgment on whether the impeachment motion is valid, a majority of judges must find that at least the legal requirements have been met. The outcome of President Yoon's impeachment trial is difficult to predict considering the judges' stance trends and past ruling precedents.
