Reporter Lee Junyeop! President

Yoon, are you waiting for the results of the warrant review at 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.

It's been 7 hours since I came back here.

Earlier, President Yoon left the detention center at around 1:25 p.m. yesterday for a screening.

When I returned six and a half hours later, I took the Ministry of Justice convoy I took when I left.

President Yoon, who had been waiting in the detention center for four days after being arrested, changed his previous position not to attend the screening and headed to the court in a surprise move.

Appearing at the court yesterday for a warrant review was the first outside schedule since imprisonment in the detention center, and a security vehicle escorted the Ministry of Justice convoy carrying President Yoon to the court together.President

Yoon will stay in the waiting room for the suspect inside the Seoul Detention Center until the results of the examination come out.

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 official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, where he will be investigated without detention.

In front of the detention center, rallies of conflicting positions continue day after day?

[Reporter]
Yes, even though it's early in the morning, citizens who favor impeachment and those who oppose it are chanting their slogans nonstop.

The supporters of President Yoon have been opposing impeachment in front of the main gate of the detention center for several days.

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.
