Please tell me about the situation on the ground.

[Reporter]
Yes, since 1 p.m., supporters of President Yoon Suk Yeol have been holding an anti-impeachment rally here in front of the Seoul Detention Center.

Participants in the rally are shouting slogans such as "Free the President" and "Invalidation of Impeachment" with free speech.Seok Dong-hyun, a lawyer for President Yoon

, also participated in the rally to encourage his supporters.The pro-impeachment group

is also protesting right next to each other, and at one point the two sides were shouting at each other.

Police have currently deployed about 240 troops from four task forces to maintain security, and they plan to consider further deployment after looking at the size of the participants.There were also overnight protests in front of the Seoul Western District Court, where an arrest warrant for President

Yoon is expected to be requested, and supporters are gathering more as time goes by.

Participants blocked the access road to the court last night by making a human chain in case the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit came to deliver documents for an arrest warrant and clashed with the police.

Accordingly, the court is controlling the entire parking lot and preparing for an emergency.

How long will President Yoon be detained in Seoul Detention Center?

[Reporter]
With the rejection of the arrest suit, Yoon must remain in the Seoul Detention Center at least until 9:05 p.m. tonight, the deadline for his arrest.

However, an arrest warrant is expected to be filed before the arrest deadline ends, which could lead to a longer period of detention depending on the outcome.

Currently, President Yoon is staying alone in the "Guin Suspect Waiting Room," which is managed and supervised by prison officers from the Ministry of Justice.

Security service personnel are waiting at the office building over the fence, not the security office where President Yoon is located.

If President Yoon leaves the detention center for an investigation or a warrant examination, security will be secured by boarding a convoy of the Ministry of Justice and escorting a vehicle around the convoy.

So far, I've told you in front of the Seoul Detention Center.
