After nearly five hours of court review, President Yoon Suk Yeol returned to the detention center and is currently awaiting the results of the review.
Even after midnight, the rally continues ahead of the results of the warrant review for President Yoon.
I'm connecting you to a reporter on the spot.
Reporter Yoon Taein! When did President
Yoon return to the detention center?
[Reporter]
President Yoon Suk Yeol arrived at the main gate of the Seoul Detention Center at around 8 p.m. last night after completing the warrant review at the Seoul Western District Court.
The time for the court was around 1:25 p.m. yesterday, so he returned six hours and 35 minutes after leaving the detention center.President
Yoon returned here in the Ministry of Justice convoy he had taken when he left the detention center.
President Yoon, who had been waiting in the detention center for four days earlier, changed his previous position not to attend the screening and headed to the court in a surprise move.
Yesterday's court appearance for a warrant hearing was the first outside schedule since detention, and a security vehicle escorted a Ministry of Justice convoy carrying President Yoon to the court.
The results of the interrogation of the suspect before arrest are expected today,
President Yoon will stay in the waiting room for the suspect inside the Seoul Detention Center until the result of the warrant hearing is released.
If an arrest warrant is issued, President Yoon should move from the waiting room to Suyeong-dong, where ordinary inmates are located, and change into a khaki prison uniform with a prison number 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.

It's almost 1 a.m. now, is the assembly still in progress?
[Reporter]
Yes, for several days, supporters of President Yoon have been holding their seats in front of the detention center's main gate, continuing their anti-impeachment rallies.
It's past midnight, but the atmosphere is noisy and heated with songs and chants.
Participants are waving Korean and American flags and calling for President Yoon's release, saying both the impeachment and arrest are invalid.The atmosphere became somewhat calm shortly after President
Yoon left the detention center, but as he returned, crowds gathered again in the evening, raising the atmosphere.
On one side of the parking lot in front of the detention center, people who support the impeachment of President Yoon are also gathering to urge the arrest of President Yoon,
The
police are also preparing for any contingency, such as separating the spaces between the two sides and putting their careers into maintaining 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.
