Overview

• Former President Yoon Suk Yeol's second criminal trial hearing on insurrection charges is scheduled for April 21, with media now allowed to film inside the courtroom.
• The court reversed its earlier stance from the first hearing, where media access was denied due to procedural issues and late requests.
• The decision to permit filming was made after weighing public interest, the right to information, and the legal rights of all parties involved.
• Yoon, impeached and removed from office on April 4 following his December martial law declaration, faces charges that could lead to life imprisonment or the death penalty.
• For security and public order, the Seoul High Court has again granted Yoon underground parking access for the upcoming trial session.
