In response to the host's question, "Are you anticipating this in preparation for potential disturbances?" Park replied, "Yes, to prevent chaos," emphasizing, "They might announce it just an hour or two before the verdict." He continued, "I believe the Constitutional Court will deliver the verdict on Friday, the 14th, and it should do so," adding, "The Constitutional Court is the institution that upholds the Constitution; if the verdict is delayed, where will this confusion lead?" He further stated, "If the verdict is not delivered by Friday, this weekend South Korea will be completely divided between supporters and opponents," stressing, "The only institution that can prevent such chaos is the Constitutional Court."

Furthermore, Park raised questions about the legality of the investigation process against President Yoon and mentioned the possibility of dismissal of the indictment. He argued, "Even now, a special prosecutor should be formed to fundamentally review (the criminal charges and investigation process) once again to maintain the indictment," emphasizing the need for a principled review. Park's remarks reveal the political tension surrounding the impeachment trial and represent calls urging the Constitutional Court to make a prompt decision.
