Political reactions were also mixed with the arrest of the first sitting president in constitutional history.

The ruling party pointed out that it is questionable whether the repercussions of the president's arrest have been fully considered, and the opposition party welcomed it, calling it a must-have.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Son Hyo-jung!

First of all, the power of the people has insisted on the injustice of the investigation of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit against the president, how do you accept the president's arrest?

[Reporter]
Within an hour and a half after the news of President Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest, the People's Power issued a short statement saying it was very sorry for the court's judgment.

As a sitting president, there is no reason for arrest, such as fear of escape or destruction of evidence,
He reiterated that various controversies continue, including the existence of the right to investigate the rebellion of the
arraignment office and various illegal acts.

As a result, it is questionable whether the impact of the arrest of the incumbent president has been fully considered.

Since then, he has urged the judicial process to proceed fairly and carefully without any controversy or flaws.

Separately, when supporters attacked the Western District Court shortly after President Yoon's arrest, the People's Power Emergency Response Committee asked him to exercise his self-restraint.

I fully understand the sorrow and heartbreak of supporters who watched the warrant review overnight, but appealed that protests by violent means such as entering the courthouse were not beneficial to anyone.

Please convey the reaction of the opposition party, including the Democratic Party of Korea.

[Reporter]
The opposition parties all said that the issuance of President Yoon's arrest warrant was a must-have attribution and a common sense judgment.

The Democratic Party said the past month and a half or so was one of the darkest moments to be recorded in South Korea's constitutional history,

The judgment was appropriate for the instigator of the rebellion crime that the whole nation witnessed in real time.

He also stressed that the issuance of an arrest warrant will be a cornerstone to correct the collapsed constitutional order.

He asked the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to investigate strictly and thoroughly so that reasonable punishment can be made to the insurgents who refuse to investigate.

The Cho Kuk Innovation Party also said that President Yoon's arrest is a natural result and that the court's judgment is the starting point to wipe out the remnants of the rebellion.

The Progressive Party also urged President Yoon to be investigated and punished faithfully for the people, saying he illegally abused his presidential authority to protect the Constitution due to unconventional delusions.

So far, I'm Son Hyo-jung of YTN in the National Assembly.
