As I told you, the collaboration is struggling with the re-execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Tensions continue around the presidential residence amid tight security.

There's a reporter on the scene, reporter Lee Hyun-jung!

[Reporter]
Yes, in front of the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.

How is the atmosphere in the presidential residence now?

[Reporter]
Yes, there are no investigators from the Joint Investigation Headquarters to execute the arrest warrant for President Yoon or the appearance of the vehicle.

However, as you can see, the road to the official residence was completely blocked by a double barrier.

There are many experiences near the post to control the surrounding traffic.

Park Jong-joon and Kim Sung-hoon, deputy head of the security service, who were booked yesterday on charges of obstructing the execution of the warrant and obstructing the execution of special affairs, requested a postponement of the police's summons to attend today.

Yoon said he could not leave for a moment because it was a serious time regarding the security of the president, but it seems that he had in mind the possibility of re-executing the warrant of the joint investigation.

If the government attempts to arrest President Yoon again, it is impossible to rule out the possibility of physical friction by confronting the security service as it did yesterday.

The on-site police seem to be focusing on maintaining order in front of the presidential residence just in case.

There's also a rally near the official residence for the arrest?

[Reporter]
Yes, right in front of where I stand, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions is holding a rally to urge the arrest of President Yoon.

As the participants march toward the official residence, the police are blocking all lanes and blocking access.

Participants are shouting that they will not back down until President Yoon is arrested, saying the security agency should cooperate with the cooperation.

Conservative groups have also gathered nearby since early hours to hold rallies in support of President Yoon, and the scale is getting bigger.

Participants claim that the court-issued warrant itself is illegal, saying they will not relax because they do not know when they will try to execute the warrant again.

Police are setting up car walls and barricades in preparation for clashes between the two sides and controlling the scene,
Until the 6th, the validity of the
arrest warrant, tension near the official residence is not expected to go away.

So far, I'm Lee Hyun-jung of YTN near the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
