    1. Suspending the president from his duties through impeachment is the only way for now, to defend democracy and the republic.
    2. We tried to find a better way than impeachment, but that other way is invalid.
    3. President Yoon Suk Yeol is no longer able to fulfil his duties as president, and I think that has become clearer and clearer.

    1. The National Assembly, dominated by the large opposition party, has become a monster that destroys the constitutional order of liberal democracy.
    2. If I were to paralyze the functions of the National Assembly, I would've enforced martial law on the weekend, not a weekday.
    3. Whether I am impeached or investigated, I will fairly confront it.
    4. I don't know which country the party belongs to and which country the National Assembly belongs to.
