The land bridge in front of the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, is full of people like bean sprouts.
The sidewalk in front of the elementary school near the official residence and across the street was also closed to crowds.Supporters gathered at the news that an arrest warrant for President
Yoon could be executed.
They waved the Korean national flag and the American flag and chanted slogans to protect the president of Yoon Suk Yeol.
"Yoon Suk Yeol! Go for it! Yoon Suk Yeol! Cheer up! Yoon Suk Yeol! Cheer up!"
Investigators in Dongjo-bon filled the front of the residence and nearby alleys, saying they would block it with their bodies if they executed the arrest warrant.
Some supporters even breached roads that were not permitted to gather.
On the other hand, citizens who said they should execute an arrest warrant immediately also gathered in front of their official residence.
The two sides shouted at each other or even got into physical fights from time to time.
"Between renaming! Lee Jaemyung's arrest! Death to the Yoon Suk Yeol of a rebellion monster!"
The chaotic situation in front of the residence is expected to continue for the time being, with less than four days until the arrest warrant is valid.
