It's early in the morning, but are there a lot of people?
[Reporter]
Yes, anti-impeachment rallies continued all night in front of the official residence even in the freezing cold.
When news broke that the arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol was issued again last evening, supporters of President Yoon gathered one after another to guard the front of the official residence.
Participants set up tents or blocked the cold with thick coats and blankets, shouting that they would prevent arrests and protect the president.
Overnight, another citizen approached the rally site, scuffling with the rally participant, but it did not lead to a major physical clash.The pro-impeachment group
will also hold a candlelight culture festival in front of the Constitutional Court this evening to call for the dismissal of President Yoon,
There are concerns that conflicts between participants in the rally could arise as the number of people around the residence could increase, including pro-impeachment groups, if the
day dawns.
The police are also controlling one lane in the direction of the city center and preparing for situations such as collisions.

Please also tell me the current security situation around the official residence.
[Reporter]
Yes, after the first attempt to execute the arrest warrant on the 3rd, the perimeter around the residence has become stricter.
You can't see it from here, but it's not easy to enter because a large bus is parked across the driveway of the official residence.
People who appear to be security officials are also entering the official residence to avoid the bus after checking their identities.
If the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit attempts to re-execute an arrest warrant, it seems to be preparing to build a barrier at any time.
A circular barbed wire fence is densely installed at the edge of the driveway, making the official residence virtually fortified for defense.
Although you can't see the inside of the official residence here, it is estimated that the secondary and tertiary cordon boundaries have also been strengthened.
However, the confrontation with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit or the police is expected to intensify as the security service guarding the residence adheres to the execution of the warrant.
