Please tell me what the atmosphere is like on the spot.

[Reporter]
Behind me, a conservative group is waving the Korean national flag and the American flag and insisting on the "nullity of impeachment."

On the other side, citizens are calling for arrest, and the police have separated the two sides with fences for fear of clashes.

Since the request for an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, both pro- and anti-impeachment sides have gathered near the official residence.

When the arrest warrant was issued yesterday, there were cheers, sighs, and mixed reactions.

Some citizens opposed to impeachment were stopped while trying to enter the official residence by pushing the police.

The police are keeping a close eye on the situation today.

How's the police move?

[Reporter]
Yes, there is no movement of investigators to execute the warrant yet.

However, it is not possible for reporters to access the vicinity of the official residence, and security is strict.

The Presidential Security Service says "protection measures" will be taken in accordance with due process regarding the execution of warrants.

As the security service previously blocked the search and seizure attempt by the joint investigation headquarters, there is a possibility that it will physically prevent the execution of the warrant by the joint investigation headquarters again this time.

The police are first focusing on maintaining order in front of the official residence in case of emergency.

So far, I'm YTN's Yoohyun in front of the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
