What is the current atmosphere of pro-impeachment rallies?

[Reporter]
As you can see behind me, the opposition to the impeachment continues to rally after the overnight sit-in.

Yoon Suk Yeol's presidential arrest warrant failed to be executed until the last day of the expiration date, shouting slogans such as "We won."

On the other hand, the pro-impeachment side, who held a rally nearby, decided to gather again on Saturday after wrapping up today's rally.

The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, which hosted the rally, declared an official end to the rally as of 3:30 p.m. and said it would gather again in Gwanghwamun.

It seems difficult for the warrant to be executed today as the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit notified the police that it would be entrusted with the execution of the warrant ahead of the last day of the validity of the arrest warrant.

However, the tension in the field remains.

At 10 a.m., the pro-impeachment camp held a press conference condemning the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's decision to delegate the execution of the arrest warrant to the police, saying President Yoon should be arrested today, the last day of the warrant.

From 2 p.m., a rally was held to urge the immediate arrest of President Yoon.

The opposition to the impeachment staged an overnight sit-in, saying it should prevent attempts to arrest President Yoon, who has no legal validity.

When the news broke that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit decided to delegate the execution of the arrest warrant to the police, he said he blocked the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and cheered, but he continues to 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]
With the dissolution of the pro-impeachment side, one of the two lanes of the closed road at the entrance to the official residence has been allowed to pass.

Vehicle communication has begun for two of the three lanes.

However, it seems that it is not easy to enter the roadway leading to the entrance because buses and others are lined up to form a barrier.

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 presidential residence?

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

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, this is YTN's facial expression near the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
