Today (3rd), the high-ranking government official's crime investigation office and the police attempted to execute an arrest warrant against President Yoon Suk Yeol, but after more than five hours of confrontation with the security office, they finally withdrew.

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

Connect a reporter from the official residence to look at the atmosphere of the site. Reporter Kim Lee Young!

[Reporter]
Yes. It is near the official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.

The situation in front of the residence looks chaotic, but pro-impeachment citizens have gone on a sit-in all night?

[Reporter]
Yes, as you can see, citizens who support impeachment have blocked the entire lane in the direction of the official residence in front of Hannam-cho.

The police periodically broadcast that many citizens are experiencing inconvenience and ask them to disband.

They gathered in front of Exit 2 of Hangangjin Station at around 3 p.m. and marched to here.

Holding a sign with the president's arrest and arrest, he shouted, "Arrest the mob Yoon Suk Yeol."

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.

[Anchor]
Citizens who oppose impeachment are also gathered near the official residence, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, supporters of President Yoon are already gathered near the International Lutheran Church, which passes through the entrance to the official residence.

Earlier, when news broke that Cho Dong-bon would stop executing the warrant and withdraw, he cheered, saying he won.

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 claim 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.

In the midst of this, some rally participants threw raw eggs at reporters, damaging their reporting equipment.

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.

Although they are continuing their rallies in different places, the police are controlling the scene in case of a possible situation, as they often scuffle whenever they face each other because they are already in a raging atmosphere.
