Yes, after the arrest warrant for President Yoon was issued, there is a lot of tension around his residence.

There are no investigators yet to execute the warrant.

While reporters are not allowed to access near their official residence, security has also become stricter, with the scope of the police's deployment to guard the surrounding area getting wider.

Police vans are deployed on the shoulder of the road in front of the official residence to prepare for an emergency.

Since the request for an arrest warrant, citizens and members of conservative groups calling for impeachment have gathered near their respective residences.

All of them have been guarding the front of the residence all night, and the police have separated the two sides with a fence.

When the warrant was issued, members of conservative groups are waving Korean flags and making a fuss.

Citizens who urged the arrest are cheering and welcoming, saying, "Democratic citizens have won."

Since the impeachment motion was passed, rallies have been held every day near President Yoon's residence.

As well as conservative group rallies, one-man demonstrations calling for the impeachment of President Yoon continued, the two sides often had friction.

After the issuance of the arrest warrant, the police are strengthening their security posture in case of a clash due to crowds.
