The second arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol is also raising tensions in front of his official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.

Amid tight vigilance in front of the official residence, supporters of the president are also gathering to block the arrest.

I'm connecting with the reporter, reporter Lim Ye-jin!

The temperature has dropped sharply, so how is the rally in front of the official residence?

[Reporter]
Yes, behind me is the presidential driveway,
Rallies are restricted right in the
official residence, and anti-impeachment rallies of President Yoon's supporters are being held in front and back of where I stand.

We also saw tents and tents set up all over the road to prevent the bitter cold,
Participants in
shouted that they would protect the president while wearing thick coats and blankets, and sang a song of a letter from President Yoon to his supporters earlier.

A full-fledged rally is scheduled for 2 p.m., which is expected to cause congestion around the area.

In front of the Constitutional Court this evening, a pro-impeachment group will hold a candlelight culture festival calling for the dismissal of President Yoon.

While attention is being paid to when the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will execute the second warrant, the pro-impeachment rally is not here now, but there is a possibility that they will gather over time.

There are also concerns that as the crowd increases, conflicts may occur between the participants of the rally.

Police are preparing for situations such as clashes by controlling one lane toward Hannam-daero and deploying a task force at the ongoing rally.

How about the border of the official residence?

[Reporter]
Since the first attempt to execute the arrest warrant on the 3rd, the perimeter around the residence has become stricter.

Several large buses are parked across from the entrance to the official residence, so it is not easy to enter.

There is a police screen nearby, and whenever citizens pass by, the police temporarily open the screen, so traffic is limited.

Multiple layers of car walls are installed in the main gate of the official residence as a minibus, and the iron doors that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the Security Service first confronted at the time of the execution of the first arrest warrant are also firmly closed.

In addition, circular barbed wire is densely installed not only on the edge of the access road but also on the mountain road in the precinct.

Although you can't see the inside of the official residence, it is estimated that the 2nd and 3rd cordon boundaries have also been strengthened.

The confrontation with the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit or the police is expected to intensify as the security service that protects the residence has not budged from the execution of the warrant.
