Are there many people at the rally near the official residence?
[Reporter]
Our reporters came out from around 7 a.m. to look at the rally,
It's cold weather, with
breathing and snow falling for a while, but
The pro-impeachment and opposition parties have been rallying for several days as the arrest warrant for President
Yoon has been issued again and is expected to be executed soon.
As the day dawned, there were more participants and more people passing in front of the residence here.
Pro-impeachment groups are holding rallies in a 500-meter section from the land bridge in front of Han River Jin Station to the back of Hannam Elementary School.
Supporters of President Yoon, who gathered on the land bridge in front of the Han River Jin Station, set up a stage and claimed that the elimination of fraudulent elections and impeachment were invalid.
Nearby, those in favor of impeachment also stayed in their seats and emphasized the need to execute the arrest warrant for President Yoon as soon as possible.
Conflicts broke out as the two sides' meeting sites were attached,
Yesterday, a participant of the rally was arrested by the police after wielding a weapon in the air while arguing with a participant who was in a different position from him.
Fortunately, it did not lead to casualties, and the police are tightening their guard in case of emergency.

Please tell me what the atmosphere of security in the official residence is like.
[Reporter]
Security around the residence remains tight.
At the entrance of the official residence, a car wall is formed with a large bus, so the view is blocked so that you can't see inside as well as enter and exit the official residence.Buses are parked not only at the entrance
but also on the way up to the official residence.
In addition, as the police are known to mobilize a large number of people when executing the warrant again, the security office was also seen installing barbed wire fences throughout the precinct.
As the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police are expected to execute a second arrest warrant for President Yoon as early as this week, the security service is also expected to further strengthen the security of the official residence.
There is no problem for citizens to pass by because there is a passageway in front of the official residence, but
Additional police buses are deployed on the
road, and two to three lanes are closed.
So far, I'm YTN Yoon Tae-in in front of the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
