Near the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, rally participants for or against the impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol continue to gather.

As a result, tension is increasing, with the number of police personnel increasing.

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

What is the atmosphere of the citizens?

[Reporter]
Yes, as you can see, behind me, citizens who are in favor of President Yoon's impeachment continue to rally with colorful cheering sticks.

On the other hand, beyond the police bus in front of me, there are citizens who support the president.

Since the two sides are close, the police have separated them with fences and deployed their careers.

Citizens in favor of impeachment, who have been holding rallies near Hannam Elementary School for three days, stayed up all night and demanded the investigative agency re-execute the warrant.

They said that President Yoon is not following due judicial procedures, and the security service raised its voice to cooperate with the arrest, signaling an overnight sit-in today.

In an emergency press conference held in the morning, the emergency action side also criticized the complacent response of the police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and called for the president's prompt arrest.

On the other hand, rallies in support of Yoon Suk Yeol's president continue nearby.

Supporters who have settled near the International Lutheran Church for days have argued that both impeachment and warrant issuance are invalid, saying they will fight with President Yoon Suk Yeol.Dozens of wreaths with phrases supporting President

Yoon were placed on one side of the street.

Do you see any moves to re-enforce the warrant today?

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

The number of participants in the task force has increased as the number of assembly members has increased, but investigators have not yet moved.

Still, the entrance to the official residence is tightly blocked by medium-sized buses, and nearby citizens are partially restricted.

The police asked Park Jong-joon, the head of the bodyguard, and Kim Sung-hoon, the deputy head of the bodyguard, to appear yesterday, who blocked the execution of the warrant by the Joint Investigation Headquarters.

When they did not respond, they again demanded to attend on the 7th and 8th, respectively.

In addition, two additional security heads and security and safety heads were also booked on charges of obstructing the execution of special public affairs, which also required attendance.

As a reference, the police called in the 55th guard commander of the Army Capital Defense Command, who is in charge of security outside the official residence, to investigate the order of the security service to restrain the execution of the warrant.

It is reported that three police units under the Seoul Metropolitan Government, including the 101st Security Corps under the command of the Security Service, were also investigated as witnesses.

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.
