The next step will be the SK constitutional court taking it up, with them having 180 days to reach a verdict. There are currently only six justices on the nine justice court, and officially they need seven judges to begin hearings but have decided to ignore that constraint. Four of the six justices were appointed by Yoon. If Yoon is removed from office there will be a special election for his replacement. The PM will serve as acting president during the trial.
