Security officers waiting for another building...Security when you're on the move.
President Yoon Suk Yeol has been detained in a Seoul detention center for three days, refusing to investigate by the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.
Yoon's supporters are rallying in front of the Seoul Detention Center from noon today to the present, shouting for the president to be released.
I'll connect with a reporter to find out about the situation on the ground. Reporter YOO JI HYUN!

Please tell me what the situation is like on the ground.

Yes, supporters of President Yoon have been holding anti-impeachment rallies by waving Korean and American flags since daytime.
Even after 9 p.m., participants are still gathering to shout slogans for President Yoon's release.The pro-impeachment group
also protested right next to each other and confronted the opposition, but the rally has now ended.
Police are deploying a task force to maintain order, but now they are deploying one unit to manage the scene.
Supporters gathered in front of the Seoul Western District Court, where the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit requested an arrest warrant for President Yoon, and were forcibly dissolved.
Participants also clashed with police last night when they blocked access to the courthouse by making a human chain in case the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit came to deliver documents claiming an arrest warrant.

How long will President Yoon be detained in Seoul Detention Center?
[Reporter]
I had to be here at the Seoul Detention Center until at least 9:05 p.m. tonight, the deadline for my arrest.
However, as an arrest warrant has been requested, it seems that the results will have to be watched.
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.
