After the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol was issued, the front of his official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, was completely divided into voices calling for "immediately arresting the president" and claims that "the arrest warrant is invalid at the source."

In particular, since the 3rd, when the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit failed to execute an arrest warrant, both sides have been holding rallies all night even if it snows.

The police have made efforts to separate the participants from each other, saying that if they encounter each other, there could be a mishap, but complete control is in a difficult atmosphere.

As the number of assembly members increases and the period is prolonged, there is also a flashpoint.

Two members of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions were arrested for assaulting police during a rally demanding the arrest of President Yoon and are under investigation.

On the other side of the impeachment, it became controversial by indiscriminately posting malicious online posts targeting reporters or throwing eggs at the scene.

Police have appealed to rally organizers and participants to follow the law, saying there have been four incidents of assaulting police officers at the rally site.

He emphasized that if illegal activities are witnessed, they will not only be arrested at the scene, but also tracked down and punished any illegal activities that have been confirmed since then.
