The pros and cons are still holding a rally, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, since the day before yesterday (3rd), when the execution of the arrest warrant for President Yoon was canceled, all-night rallies between the pros and cons have continued around the Hannam-dong residence here.

Even in the midst of the snow, they performed gymnastics, sang songs, and wrapped themselves in a foil blanket to overcome the cold.

In the area between Hannam Ogeori and Nainon Hannam, a rally calling for President Yoon's dismissal was held overnight.

They raised their voices, saying that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police should re-execute the arrest warrant for President Yoon immediately.

There were also rallies against impeachment.

Participants seated around the Lutheran Church, a little away from the pro-choice rally, shouted that the issuance of an arrest warrant for the president itself was invalid.

The police separated it because they judged that there was a risk of conflict if the crowd of the pros and cons of the rally met.

However, in many parts of the road and subway stations, rally participants from both sides were seen colliding, including arguing.

The possibility of re-enforcement of arrest warrants is also raising tensions in the official residence, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the police booked Chief of Security Park Jong-joon and Deputy Chief of Security Kim Sung-hoon, who blocked the attempt to execute the arrest warrant, on charges of obstructing the execution of public affairs, and asked them to appear, but they were rejected.

Some analysts say that the security agency may be preparing for the possibility of a re-enforcement attempt.

In fact, the security office was also seen installing a new barbed wire fence around the official residence,
Some suspect that the
Airborne Division and the police are trying to block the entry of the official residence by bypassing the mountain path.

It is reported that there was already a physical fight between the assistance center and the security office in the first execution attempt.

Tensions around the official residence are also growing as there is a risk of a stronger conflict if there is an attempt to re-enforce the warrant.
