The Constitutional Court has launched proceedings for a trial on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol after receiving the impeachment resolution that passed the National Assembly on Saturday.

The court received the official document of the resolution on Saturday evening and assigned the case number "2024-heon-na-8," which means "the 8th impeachment trial case received in 2024."

Acting Chief Justice Moon Hyung-bae reportedly said that the court will conduct a "swift and fair" trial, adding a meeting of the court's justices will be held at 10 a.m. Monday.

The court also decided to launch preparatory proceedings for trial, appoint two judges who will oversee the evidence investigation and set up a task force comprising constitutional researchers to review the legal principles.

With three of the court's nine justices vacant, the six justices have reportedly launched a review of the case from their homes immediately.
