On ‘Questions’, a discussion will take place regarding the expected decisions of the Constitutional Court related to President Yoon Seok-yeol's impeachment and the implications for Korean society thereafter.
The MBC current affairs program ‘Questions with Son Seok-hee’ will air live on the 18th at 9 PM, featuring writer Yoo Si-min, Kim Hee-won, head of News Standard at Korea Herald, lawyer Geum Tae-seop, and political journalist Heo Min from Culture Daily.
The theme for the day is ‘Korean Society Before the Constitutional Court's Decision’. With daily protests outside the Constitutional Court and weekend demonstrations for and against impeachment in the city center, what decision is the Constitutional Court preparing? Are we ready to accept that decision? How should we interpret the unexpected release of the president? What will the political landscape look like with the early presidential election that will begin upon the impeachment decision? There are many topics that ‘Questions’ needs to address.
In this live broadcast, the four individuals who previously participated in the real-time discussion of the final arguments will appear again. This not only maintains the connection to the previous discussion but also reflects the assessment that the prior debate was exemplary. In fact, it represents a combination of progressive, centrist, and conservative viewpoints, as well as critics, legal professionals, and journalists.
Host Son Seok-hee (currently a visiting professor at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto) stated, “As the Constitutional Court's decision seems imminent, it appears that this will be a space to express concerns about Korean society regarding the impeachment,” and added, “I hope this ‘Questions’ will provide an opportunity for viewers to organize their thoughts before the Constitutional Court's decision.”
‘Questions with Son Seok-hee’ will be broadcast today, the 18th, at 9 PM on MBC.
