STORYLINE:

STANDUP (English): YANG CHANG, Xinhua reporter
"South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol didn't attend the first hearing of his impeachment trial today. Yoon's lawyer was quoted by multiple media outlets on Sunday, as saying that concerns remained about safety and mishaps as the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) and National Office of Investigation (NOI) continued their attempt to execute a warrant to arrest the impeached president. The constitutional court planned to hold the next hearings slated for Jan. 16, 21, 23, and Feb. 4. By law, if Yoon is absent again from the next hearing scheduled for Thursday, the court can proceed to deliberate on the case without his attendance. The impeachment motion against Yoon was passed in the National Assembly on Dec. 14, 2024, and was delivered to the constitutional court to deliberate it for up to 180 days, during which Yoon's presidential power is suspended."
