At 2 p.m. today, President Yoon, who headed to the court for a warrant review, returned to the detention center.

The results are expected to come as early as late as tonight, but the rally is still continuing in front of the Seoul Detention Center.

I'm connecting you to a reporter on the spot. Reporter Yoon Taein!

President Yoon returned to the detention center after completing the warrant review, right?

[Reporter]
After completing the warrant review at the Seoul Western District Court, President Yoon Suk Yeol arrived at the main gate of the Seoul Detention Center at around 8 p.m.

The time for the court is around 1:25 p.m., so he returned six hours and 35 minutes after leaving the detention center.President

Yoon came back here today in the Ministry of Justice convoy he took when he left the detention center.

President Yoon, who had been waiting in the detention center for four days, seemed unlikely to attend the screening until yesterday, but changed his position and headed to the court in a surprise move.

Today's court appearance was the first outside schedule since detention, and a security vehicle escorted a Ministry of Justice convoy carrying President Yoon to the court.President

Yoon stays in the suspect's waiting room inside the Seoul Detention Center again until the result of the suspect's interrogation is released before his arrest.

The results of the interrogation are expected to come out as early as late tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

If an arrest warrant is issued, President Yoon should move to Suyeong-dong, where ordinary inmates are located, and change into khaki prison uniforms with prison numbers instead of plain clothes.

In light of the case of former Presidents Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak, President Yoon is also 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, the president's supporters are holding their seats and continuing their anti-impeachment rallies here.

It's late at night, but it's so noisy that it's hard to even talk on the phone where I'm at.

Participants are waving Korean and American flags and calling for President Yoon's release, saying both the impeachment and arrest are invalid.The atmosphere was calm shortly after President

Yoon left the detention center, but the atmosphere was heightened as crowds gathered again.

Also, on one side of the parking lot in front of the detention center, people who support the impeachment of President Yoon gathered to urge the arrest of President Yoon.

Yesterday, pro-impeachment and anti-impeachment groups protested right next to each other and confronted each other.

The police are also preparing for any contingency by separating the assembly spaces on both sides and putting in their careers to maintain order.

For the time being, daily rallies have been reported in front of the detention center, both in favor of and against impeachment.

So far, I'm YTN Yoon Tae-in at the Seoul Detention Center.
