Final decision ‘verdict’ still pending… Constitutional Court’s deep contemplation, ‘[Anchor]’,
, ‘With the Constitutional Court poised to deliver its verdict on President Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment case, deliberations are intensifying.’,
,
, ‘If the ruling schedule is not announced by today (19th), it is highly likely it will be postponed to next week.’,

,
, ‘[Reporter]’,
, ‘Three weeks have passed since the conclusion of the impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk-yeol, but the constitutional judges continue to deliberate.’,
,
, ‘Although the ruling was strongly anticipated for the second half of this week, namely the 20th and 21st, no announcement has yet been made.’,
,
, ‘Based on previous cases involving former presidents, announcements typically occur 2-3 days before the ruling,’,
,
, ‘so if there is no announcement by today, the results might be out next week.’,
,
, ‘To finalize and pronounce the judgment, the judges must conduct a “verdict” where they express their final opinions, such as affirmation, dismissal, or rejection.’,
,
, ‘However, this verdict has not yet been reached, and it is thought that gathering consensus may take additional time.’,
,
, ‘Nonetheless, the ruling date does not necessarily have to be decided only after the verdict is concluded.’,
,
, ‘In the case of former President Park Geun-hye’s impeachment, the verdict was reportedly conducted on the day of the ruling to maintain confidentiality.’,
,
, ‘It is known that the judges continued their deliberations after concluding the impeachment hearing of Justice Minister Park Beom-kye yesterday.’,
,
, ‘As the movements of the Constitutional Court become busier, tension is rising over when the ruling date will be set.’,
