Tensions are growing in front of the official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, as a second arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol has been issued.

As the security services become more vigilant, supporters of the president who are trying to prevent arrest are gathering around the residence.

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

Yes, in front of the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.

Rallies near Hannam-dong's official residence are continuing every day.

How is the situation now?

[Reporter]
Yes, I'm standing right in front of the driveway of the official residence,
Starting from
here, anti-impeachment rallies are being held about 200m away from both sides.

In the cold weather, President Yoon's supporters are staying by sharing hot tea and ramen.
Participants who stayed in front of the residence all night
continue to say they will protect the president by blocking the execution of arrest warrants,
Before
, President Yoon made a song and sang a letter to his supporters.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.

While attention is being paid to when the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit will execute the second warrant, there is still little crowd for the pro-impeachment rally, but there is a possibility that they will gather over time.

With the two sides haggling in the morning, there are also concerns that a clash could occur if the crowd increases.

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]
Compared to the last three days when the first warrant was executed, there were not many assembly personnel, so the number of task force personnel used to maintain order is relatively small,
The border around the
official residence has become more severe.

A police screen has been installed around the access road of the official residence, and traffic is limited after checking the purpose and identity of the passage,
On the road to the
official residence, there are several large buses parked across the street, so the external view is blocked.

Multiple layers of car walls are also installed at the entrance to the official residence, making it difficult to enter.

In addition, after the first attempt failed, circular barbed wire was densely installed not only on the mountain path in the precinct but also on the edge of the driveway.

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.

As the security service that protects the official residence has not budged from blocking the execution of the warrant, the confrontation is expected to intensify if the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit starts its second execution.
