South Korea's constitutional court resent an impeachment notice to President Yoon Suk-yeol's residence Thursday after the presidential security service's repeated rejection of receipt, according to multiple media outlets.



The court's spokesperson told reporters that documents relevant to Yoon's impeachment trial, including request to appear in court and schedule for preliminary hearings, were delivered to the presidential office for the second time Wednesday and for the third time earlier in the day.



The presidential security service repeatedly refused to receive the documents, and the constitutional court delivered them to the presidential residence.



Earlier in the day, officials with the constitutional court visited the presidential residence, attempting to pass on the impeachment documents by hand, but the security service refused to receive them again.



The spokesperson noted that the court will announce its position next Monday on whether the documents are seen to be delivered to Yoon.



If Yoon's side continues to reject the receipt, the court can put up the documents in the official gazette and consider it to be delivered.
