South Korea court begins review of Yoon impeachment

SEOUL:

The court will hold the first public hearing on December 27, spokesperson Lee Jean told a news conference, after the court's six justices met to discuss plans for reviewing the impeachment by the opposition-controlled parliament on Saturday.

The court has up to six months to decide whether to remove Yoon from office or to reinstate him. The first hearing will be "preparatory" to confirm major legal issues of the case and the schedule among other matters, Lee said.

Yoon is not required to attend that hearing, she said.
