Downtown divided by pro-impeachment and anti-impeachment rally...a heightened tension

[Anchor]
It's the first weekend since Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest warrant was reissued.

Tensions are rising as not only near the presidential residence but also throughout the city are divided into pro-impeachment and anti-impeachment rallies.

How's the situation in front of the official residence?

Yes, the participants of the rally have gathered one after another since day, and now there is no time to step.Supporters of President Yoon

are insisting on protecting the president, saying the impeachment and arrest warrants are invalid.

On the other hand, pro-impeachment groups also hold daily rallies in the neighborhood and oppose the immediate execution of an arrest warrant for President Yoon, the leader of the insurrection.

There has been no physical conflict between the two sides yet, but tensions are still high as confrontations continue and loud voices come and go.

However, as there are observations that the execution of the second arrest warrant is imminent, the security posture of the official residence is still strictly maintained.

There are still large buses at the entrance of the official residence and inside the alley.

The view from the outside to the inside of the entrance to the official residence is completely blocked.

Since it is the first weekend after President Yoon Suk Yeol's second arrest warrant was issued, large-scale rallies are taking place in various parts of the city besides the official residence.

The side calling for the impeachment of President Yoon plans to hold a rally in favor of the impeachment of the president near the concurrent building in Gwanghwamun this afternoon.

In response, supporters of President Yoon are also rallying against impeachment in the Donghwa Duty Free area of Gwanghwamun.

Due to a series of rallies, downtown traffic is congested, making it difficult to pass smoothly.

As such, the police asked people to use public transportation such as subways when passing through downtown areas such as Jongno and Yongsan.
