Kim Kyung-soo: "The End of Sleepless Nights Is Near... Yoon's Dismissal Is Common Sense"

Former Gyeongnam Governor Kim Kyung-soo stated on the 1st that "the sleepless nights will not be far from over" in relation to the Constitutional Court setting the date for the impeachment trial verdict of President Yoon Seok-yeol.

Through social media (SNS), former Governor Kim introduced the fact that the Constitutional Court had set the date for the impeachment trial verdict of President Yoon and credited it to "the power of the citizens who have been urging the impeachment trial in the square." Kim had stayed in Gwanghwamun and fasted for 14 days before being transported due to health deterioration.

Regarding the Constitutional Court delivering the verdict later than the public expectation, which had predicted early to mid-March, he said, "I hope it was a process of careful deliberation to protect the constitutional order." Concerning the content of the verdict, he said, "To move toward a new Republic of Korea, the twelve characters 'Dismiss the respondent Yoon Seok-yeol' are absolutely necessary," and added, "I expect the Constitutional Court to save the Republic of Korea, which is in crisis, with a just ruling based on principles and common sense."

He added, "I will stand with the people until the end."
