Since President Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest warrant was issued, rallies for and against have continued in front of his official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
The police are controlling access to the official residence and maintaining a strict security posture just in case.

A fence is built with an alley in between.
When a warrant was issued for the arrest of Yoon Suk Yeol's president and citizens for and against impeachment flocked to his residence, the police set it up for fear of a collision.Citizens who oppose the arrest of President Yun
waved Korean flags and American flags from New Year's Day and insisted on the nullification of the impeachment.
An unofficial police estimate of 5,500 people gathered, raising their voices to say that they would stop the arrest attempt with their bodies.
[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]
On the other hand, the citizens of the pro-choice side called for the immediate arrest and dismissal of President Yoon.
The political situation will be stabilized only when President Yoon, who was pointed out as the leader of the rebellion, is punished.
[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.]
The police are strictly controlling access to the official residence in case of a possible collision and continuing their security posture.
In addition, we plan to focus on maintaining order, believing that the pros and cons rally will continue until the execution of the arrest warrant by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
