You've got a lot of supporters as the arrest deadline approaches, haven't you?
[Reporter]
Yes, since 1 p.m., supporters of President Yoon have been holding anti-impeachment rallies here.
Participants in the rally are shouting slogans such as free speech and protecting the president.Seok Dong-hyun, a lawyer for President Yoon
, also participated in the rally to encourage his supporters.Lawyer
said it has not yet been decided whether President Yoon will attend the court in person if an arrest warrant is requested.The pro-impeachment group
is also protesting right next to each other, and the two sides are at odds, shouting at each other.
Police have currently deployed six mobile units and 360 people to maintain security, and they plan to consider additional deployments depending on the situation.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 then, so the detention period could be longer 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 investigation or warrant examination, security will be secured by boarding a convoy of the Ministry of Justice and escorting the vehicle around the convoy.
So far, I've told you in front of the Seoul Detention Center.
