Near the presidential residence, rally participants for or against the impeachment of the president stayed all night.

Since the deadline for arrest warrants is tomorrow, the possibility of re-enforcement is still rising, and tension is also increasing.

There is a reporter on the scene. Reporter Kim Lee Young!

What is the atmosphere of the citizens?

[Reporter]
Yes, as it continues to snow, citizens who support the president have gathered over the police bus behind me, and in front of where I stand, citizens who are calling for his arrest.

As the citizens of the pros and cons were close by, the police stopped several mobile buses and set up fences to separate the two sides.

Pro-impeachment citizens, who have been holding rallies near Hannam Elementary School for two days, occupied the entire lane in the direction of the official residence and stayed up all night to demand the investigative agency re-enforce the warrant.

They said that President Yoon is not even following due judicial procedures, and the bodyguard urged him to cooperate with the arrest.

At an emergency press conference held at 10 a.m., the emergency action side criticized the police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's complacent response and called for the president's prompt arrest.

The rally will begin again at 2 p.m.

On the other hand, rallies in support of President Yoon Suk Yeol are also continuing nearby.

Supporters have been sitting near the International Lutheran Church for days, voicing that the arrest warrant itself is illegal and invalid.Dozens of wreaths containing support for President

Yoon were placed on one side of the street.

There is a possibility that the warrant will be re-executed as early as today, but do you see any unusual trends in the field?

[Reporter]
Our reporters have been here since early morning and have been watching the access road to the official residence.

There have been no specific trends, such as investigators or vehicle movements.

However, security is tight, with mid-sized buses and fences surrounding the entrance to the official residence, and dozens of police officers are deployed to keep their seats.

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.

In addition, it was confirmed that the 55-guard commander of the Army Capital Defense Command, who is in charge of security outside the official residence, was called as a reference to investigate the security service's order to restrain the execution of the warrant.

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 the arrest warrant for President Yoon again, there is a possibility that the security agency and the government agency will physically collide again, raising tensions.
