Amid the growing possibility of re-executing an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, rallies for and against the president's residence are intensifying.
Even after sunset, the number of participants in the rally increases, and tension is rising.

How is the atmosphere around the presidential residence?
[Reporter]
Yes, following the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), which continues to hold overnight rallies,
Participants from both sides, who were rallying for and against impeachment near Gwanghwamun,
, continue to flock here even now.
I also arrived here about an hour ago.
Participants demanding the execution of arrest warrants and opposition at subway stations as well as on the surrounding roads were in conflict, shouting slogans at each other, but fortunately, there was no physical conflict.
The rally between the two sides, which started in the three lanes of Hannam-daero here, occupied all seven lanes.
In particular, some physical fights broke out as the crowd continued to flock and the atmosphere was heated.
First, a rally was held between the Nine One South and Hannam Ogeori to call for impeachment with colorful cheering sticks.
Participants here are demanding a re-execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon.
In the afternoon, he marched to his official residence and confronted the police, and in the process, two members of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions were arrested for assaulting a police officer.
On the contrary, anti-impeachment rally participants continue to rally right in front of the Han River Jin Station.
They claim invalidity of the source of the arrest warrant.
Likewise, due to the police's restraint, it has not been able to enter the road to the official residence.
The police set up car walls and barricades between the two sides' rallies in preparation for clashes between the two sides.
Subway stations and roads are also deploying and controlling careers in preparation for possible collisions.

It's already night, what about the possibility of a warrant re-execution?
[Reporter]
Yes, it's hard to say yet, but
No move to re-enforce arrest warrants, such as the Joint Investigation Headquarters, has been detected today.
Restrictions on traffic in front of the official residence are also continuing.
Earlier, Park Jong-joon, the head of the security service, and others did not respond to the police's summons investigation notified today.
The reason was that he could not leave for a moment, but it is believed that he is preparing for the possibility of re-executing the warrant in the joint edition.
If the arrest attempt resumes, we cannot rule out a conflict between the security service and the cooperation center.As the validity period of the arrest warrant for President
Yoon is until Monday, the 6th, tension in the official residence here is expected to continue.
So far, I'm Park Ki-wan of YTN in front of the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
