With the prospect that an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol will be executed within this week, rallies for impeachment continue in front of the residence even in the cold.
I'm connecting you to a reporter on the spot. Reporter Yoon Taein!
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 when it snowed for a while earlier.As the arrest warrant for President
Yoon is issued again and it is expected to be executed soon, both pro-impeachment and opposition parties have been holding rallies for several days despite the cold.
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.
President Yoon's supporters gathered on the land bridge in front of the Han River Jin Station set up a stage to claim the elimination of fraudulent elections and the nullification of impeachment.
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,
Even where the
system was located, citizens from both sides of the impeachment almost clashed a while ago, so I could see the police restraining it.
Also, yesterday, a participant of the rally was arrested by the police by 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, but the police are tightening their guard just in case.

Please tell me what the atmosphere of security in the official residence is like.
[Reporter]
Security around the residence remains tight.
At the entrance to the official residence, a car wall is formed with a large bus, so you can't even look inside as well as block the entrance of the vehicle.Buses are parked not only at the entrance to
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.
The security office also seems to be strengthening the security of the official residence, 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.
There is no problem for citizens to travel because there is a passageway in front of the official residence, but
Two to three lanes are closed due to additional police buses on the
road.
So far, I'm YTN Yoon Tae-in in front of the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
