President Yoon Suk Yeol has asked the Constitutional Court to reschedule the tenth hearing in his impeachment trial, currently set for next Thursday.

Yoon’s defense team reportedly submitted the request Friday.

The court earlier set a hearing for arguments next Thursday, allowing testimonies from Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, former National Intelligence Service First Deputy Director Hong Jang-won and Police Commissioner General Cho Ji-ho as requested by the president.

The request for a change of date was reportedly made because the Seoul Central District Court is set to hold a hearing next Thursday to review a request to revoke Yoon’s pretrial detention as he stands accused of leading an insurrection through martial law.

The first preparatory hearing in Yoon’s criminal trial is also expected to take place the same day.
