When did President Yoon leave the detention center?
[Reporter]
It's around 1:25 p.m. today.A total of nine vehicles, including the Ministry of Justice convoy carrying President
Yoon, left the main gate of the Seoul Detention Center here.
Until yesterday, President Yoon seemed unlikely to attend the screening, but he changed his position and headed to the court in a surprise move.
Under the control of the police signal, President Yoon arrived at the Seoul Western District Court at 1:54 p.m., 29 minutes later, with six minutes left before the screening.President
Yoon stayed in the suspect's waiting room inside 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.
Today's court appearance was the first outside schedule since detention, and a security vehicle followed a convoy carrying President Yoon and escorted him to the court.President
Yoon will return to the Seoul Detention Center as soon as he finishes his interrogation and wait for the results of the examination that will be released as early as tonight.
If an arrest warrant is issued, President Yoon should move to Suyong-dong and change into a khaki prison uniform with a prison number written on it instead of plain clothes.
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, the release command will arrive at the detention center, and President Yoon will be immediately released and returned to his Hannam-dong residence for investigation without detention.

You've been holding rallies in front of the detention center since a few days ago?
[Reporter]
Yes, there are still anti-impeachment rallies here today, and dozens of supporters are still standing.
The participants are waving Korean and American flags and calling for President Yoon's release, saying both the impeachment and arrest are invalid.
In front of
, excited supporters shouted as a parade of cars carrying the president left the main gate of the detention center.Since President Yoon left the detention center
, the crowd has decreased and the atmosphere has become a little calmer.
However, if the crowd in the Seoul Western District Court comes over here due to the anti-impeachment rally in Gwanghwamun and the warrant review, tensions are expected to rise again.
Yesterday, pro-impeachment groups also protested right next to each other and confronted the opposition.
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.
So far, I'm YTN Yoon Tae-in at the Seoul Detention Center.
