Yes. The party leadership, including the People's Power Emergency Committee and the floor leadership, held an emergency meeting from 6 a.m.It is expected to share the execution of the second arrest warrant by the police and the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit against President
Yoon, and to mention countermeasures according to changes in the situation.
Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee, said at the meeting that he is preparing a special prosecutor, but he is trying to arrest him too hard, adding that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police will have to take responsibility in some form.
Floor leader Kwon Sung-dong also told reporters before the meeting that he could not understand the attitude of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which insisted on enforcement, arguing that the warrant itself was illegal and invalid.
He also criticized that showing anxiety and concern to the public is not compatible with national character and is not polite to the president, saying that physical conflict is occurring in the official residence.
Apart from the leadership, dozens of people, including members of the People's Power and the chairman of the party's cooperation committee, gathered in front of the Hannam-dong residence early in the morning to protest the execution of the arrest warrant.
It emphasizes the unfairness of the execution of the warrant, but there was also a movement to block the execution as legally as possible, saying not to push each other and not to fight even if there was a physical fight with the police.
About 40 lawmakers visited the residence on the 6th, when the possibility of executing a second arrest warrant was previously predicted, and it seems that a similar size has gathered this time.
In a related development, Rep. Kim Ki-hyun criticized on social media that the Democratic Party of Korea is conducting a human hunt against the incumbent president, who is only a suspect, while using bulletproof shots of Lee Jae-myung, who received a suspended prison sentence in the first trial.

The Democratic Party of Korea initially announced to the National Assembly to be on standby from 6 a.m. as the execution of the second arrest warrant began in earnest.
It was found that the general meeting of the lawmakers was decided a little while ago to be held from 7 o'clock.In the process of arresting President
Yoon, it is expected to prepare for unexpected situations such as clashes between agencies such as the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, police, and security agencies, and share countermeasures after the arrest.
In addition, it is expected that there will be an exchange of opinions on how to resolve the political situation in the future, including the Independent Counsel for Insurrection Act.
Cho Seung-rae, a senior spokesman, said in a written briefing a while ago that President Yoon should be arrested and the civil war should be ended.
At the same time, President Yoon called for the end of the meaningless sit-in and cooperated with law enforcement, and the People's Power lawmakers also urged the party to withdraw immediately if it had the least form left.
The party's legal committee warned lawmakers of the People's Power who visited their residence today that obstructing the execution of warrants is unconstitutional and that they will be held legally responsible for violations.
The Cho Kuk Innovation Party also held a meeting of the Supreme Council and lawmakers from early dawn,
The Innovation Party, which tried to observe the execution of the warrant in the first place
, will be on emergency standby at the National Assembly until President Yoon is arrested because it could hinder the execution of the warrant.
