The pro-impeachment rally continues near the official residence.
Connect a reporter from the official residence to look at the atmosphere of the site.
Reporter Kim Lee Young!
Behind you, pro-impeachment citizens went on a sit-in all night?
[Reporter]
Yes, as you can see, pro-impeachment citizens are holding rallies by occupying the entire lane in the direction of the official residence in front of Hannam Elementary School.
He urged the president of Yoon Suk Yeol and the bodyguard to be arrested while singing songs such as "The World We Met Again" with a light stick.
Now, citizens who gathered in front of Exit 2 of Hangangjin Station at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., respectively, marched here and joined.
They are shouting slogans with signs with the arrest and detention of the president of Yoon Suk Yeol.
They criticize President Yoon for refusing to comply with the court-issued warrant, saying it is illegal, and they are calling for the investigative agency to execute the arrest warrant.
Let's listen to the citizens' voices who participated in the rally.

Are anti-impeachment citizens also gathered nearby?
[Reporter]
Yes, if you go up a little past the entrance to the official residence from here, the supporters of President Yoon, who have been gathering since the day, are still rallying.
They are waving Gyeonggwangbong Peak with signs saying they oppose the fraudulent election and the fake National Assembly.
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.
I'll listen to it myself.
"Go Yoon Suk Yeol! Anti-impeachment!"
In the midst of this, some rally participants threw raw eggs at reporters.
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 encounter each other because they are already in a raging atmosphere.
