Anti-impeachment rallies every day..."Calling for President's Release"
For the time being, daily reports of pro-impeachment rallies...The police are ready.
For the first time in constitutional history, an incumbent president has been at a crossroads.
While President Yoon Suk Yeol's warrant review is scheduled, more supporters of the president are expected to flock to the detention center.

Please tell us the atmosphere of the site first.
[Reporter]
Now, only about 10 supporters are staying in front of the detention center.
It is still quiet, but there is a high possibility that a considerable crowd will cross this side after the scheduled anti-impeachment rally in Gwanghwamun in the early afternoon.
In particular, more supporters are expected to flock from 2 p.m. to late at night when the arrest examination is scheduled.
In front of the arrested president's residence, anti-impeachment rallies continue every day.
The participants are waving Korean and American flags and calling for President Yoon's release, saying both the impeachment and arrest are invalid.
For the time being, daily rallies have been reported in front of the detention center, with 5,600 opponents of impeachment and 400 pro-impeachment.
Accordingly, the police are also preparing for possible situations by separating the assembly spaces of both sides and putting their careers into maintaining order.

Will President Yoon attend today's arrest examination?
[Reporter]
Nothing has been decided for sure yet.President Yun
will organize his position on attendance and notify reporters at 10 a.m.
Earlier, shortly after the warrant was requested yesterday, President Yoon's side said that since the Western District Court is not a court having jurisdiction over the case, President Yoon will not attend the warrant review,
Late at night, he told reporters that he was considering ways to resolve the illegal realm and that there was room for consideration whether he would attend.
Earlier, President Yoon did not appear at the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit the day before and yesterday, saying he had said enough in the first investigation, and did not appear at the arrest suit.
If he attends the interrogation of the suspect before his arrest, it will be his first outside schedule since he was imprisoned, and if he leaves the detention center, President Yoon is expected to be escorted by a guard vehicle along with a prison guard in a convoy of the Ministry of Justice.
After the interrogation, President Yoon will wait for the results of the screening that will be released as early as tonight at the Seoul Detention Center.

The place where President Yoon stays will also change depending on whether or not an arrest warrant is issued, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, President Yoon has been staying in the suspect's waiting room in the Seoul Detention Center for four days.
It is known that there are partition toilets, televisions, and bedding in a solitary cell of about six to seven pyeong.
When an arrest warrant is issued, President Yoon should move to Suyong-dong, and instead of plain clothes, he should wear a khaki prison uniform with a prison number written on it.
In light of the previous cases of former Presidents Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak, they are expected to be held in solitary confinement.
Conversely, if the warrant is rejected, President Yoon will be immediately released and returned to his official residence in Hannam-dong for investigation without detention.
