Ousted South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol will face his second criminal trial hearing at 10:00 on Monday local time, Yonhap News Agency reported on Sunday.
The Seoul Central District Court in southern Seoul will continue proceedings in the case against Yoon on insurrection charges.
Yoon is expected to arrive at the court from his private residence in a security vehicle, as he did for the initial hearing on April 14.
Media have been granted permission to film inside the courtroom, said the report. This will likely be the first time for the public to see images of Yoon attending the trial.
During the first formal hearing, Yoon denied his insurrection charges and defended himself by testifying in the courtroom for over 80 minutes.
On April 4, the constitutional court upheld a motion by parliament to impeach Yoon over his short-lived martial law imposition.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered in at Tel Aviv University in Israel on Wednesday to mark the 77th anniversary of Nakba, the massive exodus of Palestinians that occurred in 1948 following the establishment of the state of Israel.
The "Nakba," which means "catastrophe" in Arabic, refers to the mass displacement and dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. It is generally commemorated on May 15.
The demonstrators included students from different universities, members of the Israeli Arab community, and other pro-Palestinian supporters. Many held placards condemning Israel's current actions in Gaza.
The total Palestinian death toll since the latest round of fighting erupted in October 2023, has reached 53,010, health officials in Gaza said on Thursday.
Israel resumed large-scale military operations in Gaza in March, ending a two-month ceasefire.
According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), 71 percent of the Gaza Strip is now under Israeli displacement orders or designated as militarized zones, restricting Palestinian access. Over 436,000 people are estimated to have been displaced again since March.
