What is the current atmosphere of pro-impeachment rallies?

[Reporter]
Based on the entrance to the presidential residence where I am now, rallies are being held on both sides of the pro- and anti-impeachment sides of Yoon Suk Yeol.

Both sides held a sit-in overnight.

The rally continues now, and the police are controlling lanes and preparing for unexpected situations such as collisions.

As the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has notified the police that it will be in charge of executing the arrest warrant, it is expected that today's execution will be difficult.

But there is still a lot of tension between the pro-impeachment and the opposition.

At 10 a.m., the pro-impeachment camp held a press conference condemning the transfer of the arrest warrant to the police by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, saying that President Yoon should be arrested today, the last day of the warrant deadline.

From 2 p.m., we are holding a rally calling for the immediate arrest of President Yoon.

The opposition to the impeachment also staged an overnight sit-in, saying that the attempt to arrest President Yoon, who has no legal validity, should be prevented.

He said he blocked the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit at the news of the execution of the arrest warrant and cheered, but he plans to continue the rally all day today in preparation for the possibility of executing the warrant.

What is the atmosphere toward the entrance to the presidential residence?

[Reporter]
Behind me is the access road to the presidential residence.

It has become difficult to execute an arrest warrant for the president today, but security is still tight.

There are also minibuses lined up on the road leading to the entrance, so it doesn't seem easy to enter.

The iron door, the place where the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the Security Service first confronted each other at the time of the execution of the first arrest warrant, is also firmly closed.

It is not confirmed at the scene how security personnel are moving on the upper secondary and tertiary cordons, but
The
Security Department has strengthened security by putting barbed wire on the mountain road in the precinct.

What's the situation outside the official residence?

[Reporter]
Today, it seems difficult to re-enforce the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol.

There are no vehicles around the official residence that are believed to have come from the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

The personnel who appear to be the special investigation team of the police emergency martial law are also not seen at the scene.

However, as the rally continues following the overnight sit-in, a police task force is deployed at the scene.

Police buses are also lined up long along the driveway toward the official residence,
As citizens of the pro-impeachment group gather in front of the
official residence, the police task force bus is expected to continue to guard the front of the official residence.

So far, I am YTN Yoon Tae-in near the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
