How's the situation on the ground?

[Reporter]
Yes, citizens who oppose President Yoon's arrest set up a stage and began a full-fledged rally at around 12 p.m. today, New Year's Day.

Waving the Korean national flag and the American flag, they claim that impeachment itself is invalid.

In preparation for a possible collision, the police separated the seats on the other side from the fence.

Let's listen to the pros and cons one by one.

[Yeo Heejin / Anyang City, Gyeonggi Province: I came here two days ago and stayed up all night for two days.... I think I hope the president will be arrested as soon as possible and bad politics will be resolved.]

[Cho Kyung-sun / Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do: He's the president with the highest advantage. It doesn't make sense to arrest the president. That doesn't happen in the world. We're going to stop it now. [No arrest]

Since the request for an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, both pros and cons 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.

At one point, there was a loud voice between approval and opposition, but the police are watching the situation closely today.

Do you see any signs of warrant execution?

[Reporter]
Investigators have not yet made any moves to execute the warrant.

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 has repeatedly prevented the search and seizure attempts 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 believe that the assembly will continue in the future and are focusing on maintaining order in front of the official residence.

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