Currently, a rally for impeachment is being held in front of the official residence at the same time.

The execution of the warrant failed today, how is the atmosphere near the official residence?
[Reporter]
Yes, now, pro-impeachment citizens are marching in the direction of their official residence with signs bearing the arrest and arrest of the president.
At around 3 p.m., they gathered in front of Exit 2 of Hangangjin Station and started the rally, and they plan to stay up all night to urge President Yoon Suk Yeol to arrest him.
They criticize President Yoon Suk Yeol's refusal to comply with court-issued warrants, saying they are illegal, calling on investigative agencies to execute arrest warrants.
However, supporters of President Yoon are already gathered in front of his residence.
Earlier, they cheered when news broke that Cho Dong-bon was withdrawing from the execution of the warrant.
However, there is an atmosphere that you can't relax because you don't know when you'll try to execute the warrant again.
Supporters argue that the execution of arrest warrants by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police is invalid, and President Yoon is raising his voice to protect it.
As the warrant is valid until the 6th, it is expected to continue the rally by guarding the site.There is also a risk of conflict as the pros and cons of impeachment
gather in front of the official residence.
The two sides will continue to hold rallies at different locations, but the police are controlling the scene in case there is no chance.
