Detach with a police fence...Closer Distance Worries Collision
Citizens in favor of impeachment call for re-execution of warrant for second night
The validity of the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol is just a day away.
While the Joint Investigation Headquarters was considering countermeasures, rally participants for or against the impeachment of the president stayed overnight near the official residence.
There is a reporter on the scene. Reporter Kim Lee Young!
Please tell us the atmosphere of the citizens gathered around the residence.
[Reporter]
Yes, citizens who call for President Yoon's arrest and those who support the president are gathered behind me, respectively.
Police have set up car walls and fences to separate the two sides, but if the distance is close, there is a concern about a collision.
Pro-impeachment citizens, who have been sitting near Hannam Elementary School for two days and holding rallies, stayed up all night except for two lanes and demanded an investigative agency re-execute the warrant.
They said that President Yoon is not even following due judicial procedures, and that the security service should stop the illegal interference and cooperate with the arrest.
Soon after, at 10 a.m., there will be an emergency press conference for emergency action calling for the president's quick arrest, and the rally will begin again at 2 p.m.
On the other hand, a rally in support of President Yoon Suk Yeol is also being held nearby.
Supporters have been sitting near the International Lutheran Church for days, voicing that the arrest warrant itself is illegal and invalid.
Dozens of support wreaths were placed on one side of the street, and the rally is planned to resume from 10:30 a.m.

It is said that there is a possibility of re-executing the warrant as early as today, do you see any signs?
[Reporter]
No details have been confirmed on whether and when the warrant will be re-executed, but no unusual movements have yet been seen by investigators or investigative vehicles.
However, there is tension because medium-sized buses and fences are surrounding the entrance to the official residence, and dozens of police are stationed.
The police also asked Park Jong-joon, the head of the security, and Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy head of the security, to appear yesterday, who blocked the execution of the warrant by the Joint Investigation Headquarters.
When they refused to respond, saying they could not leave for a moment, they again demanded to attend on the 7th and 8th, respectively.
He also reportedly called in the 55-guard commander of the Army Capital Defense Command, who is in charge of security outside the official residence, to investigate the arrest of the warrant, including the suspicion of mobilizing the military by the security service.
In the meantime, the presidential security seems to be preparing for the re-execution of the warrant by installing circular barbed wire on the mountain path approaching the official residence.
If the government attempts to execute an arrest warrant for President Yoon again, tensions continue to grow as there is a possibility that the security agency and the government agency may collide again.
