President Yoon Suk-yeol, who was released following the court's cancellation of his detention, is expected to refrain from external activities for the time being and wait for the Constitutional Court's ruling.
According to Yonhap News on the 9th, a presidential office official noted, "Since the ruling of the Constitutional Court is approaching, there may be occasions to meet with those who prevent such meetings, but external activities will likely be restrained."
President Yoon is not restricted in external activities due to the cancellation of his detention, but it is reported that he will only be in contact with officials from the presidential office, the People Power Party, and his legal team for the time being. A presidential office official explained, "Even if messages are conveyed, they will be at a very restrained level," adding that "he is likely to show a humble and calm demeanor while waiting for the Constitutional Court's ruling."
Although President Yoon cannot participate in state affairs due to the passage of the impeachment motion, it is expected that he will still receive References related to state issues.
A presidential office official stated, "If the Constitutional Court dismisses the impeachment, he must return to work immediately," and emphasized, "In order not to disrupt state affairs, it is necessary to identify any pending issues."
The presidential office is scheduled to hold a senior secretary meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Jeong Jin-seok. This senior secretary meeting is a regular meeting held every Sunday, where they discuss matters to report to Choi Sang-mok, the acting president and Minister of Strategy and Finance.
It is known that the senior secretary meeting will not officially discuss issues related to President Yoon's return. However, a presidential office official mentioned, "The chief secretary may convey the president's instructions to the members."
Previously, President Yoon returned to the residence the day before and, while dining with Deputy Minister Jeong and others, stated, "I hope the presidential office will continue to firmly maintain the center of state affairs for the country and the people."
