The ‘100 Minute Debate’ will have an urgent debate on the legal and political issues surrounding President Yoon Seok-yeol, who is accused of sedition, the direction of the investigation, and the future political situation.

The ‘100 Minute Debate‘ on MBC at 10:20 p.m. on the 10th (today) will discuss the topic, “Impeachment vote D-4… What will be the end of ‘se rebellion’?” The debate will be attended by Democratic Party of Korea member Noh Jong-myeon, Fatherland Innovation Party member Shin Jang-sik, Korea University Law School Professor Kim Seon-taek, and Korea Election Association Vice President Seo Bok-gyeong.

Earlier, for the first time in South Korean history, a sitting president was banned from leaving the country. President Yoon Seok-yeol was indicted on charges of sedition. It appears that the investigation into President Yoon Seok-yeol will also begin in earnest, along with the investigation into former Minister of National Defense Kim Yong-hyun, who voluntarily appeared before the prosecution.

While the prosecution, police, and the Public Prosecutor‘s Office are fiercely competing for the lead in the investigation, how far will President Yoon’s investigation expand? Who will take the place of the vacuum in state affairs caused by the investigation of the incumbent president?

On Saturday, the 7th, the impeachment motion against President Yoon Seok-yeol failed to pass due to a lack of quorum. The impeachment motion was automatically scrapped as most of the People Power Party lawmakers left the chamber en masse. As citizens‘ voices of anger are growing louder across the country, calling for “impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol,” the Democratic Party plans to attempt a second impeachment vote against President Yoon Seok-yeol on Saturday, the 14th.
