The arrested president of Yoon Suk Yeol is expected to be transferred from the waiting room for a suspect to a solitary cell that accommodates the pending prisoners.

He is expected to go through the same admission process as ordinary inmates, such as changing into prison uniforms after 9 a.m.
I'll connect you to a reporter at the
site. Reporter Jeong Hyeonwoo!

[Reporter]
Yes, this is the Seoul Detention Center.

When will President Yoon officially enter the detention center?

[Reporter]
Yes.

President Yoon, who was arrested, will leave the "guin suspect waiting room" where he stayed during his arrest and move to a general detention center.

An official from the Ministry of Justice said the timing of the formal admission process is expected to be decided by the Seoul Detention Center itself, and it is expected to be after 9 a.m.

He also explained that he does not usually prepare a place for imprisonment in advance, but it seems that he will need time to prepare for President Yoon's room.The process of entering the

detention center will be the same as other ordinary inmates.

It is expected to go through procedures such as taking a so-called "Mugshot," confirming personal information, receiving a detailed physical examination, and receiving a death penalty number.

However, since he is an incumbent president, he is expected to be housed in a solitary cell, not in a space where several inmates live.

In the past, former President Park Geun Hye lived in a solitary cell of about 3 pyeong in the Seoul Detention Center, and former President Lee Myung Bak also lived in a similar size solitary cell in the eastern Seoul Detention Center.

The Ministry of Justice also said that when using external facilities such as public baths, it is expected to prevent contact between President Yoon and other inmates by adjusting the usage time.

In addition, if President Yoon goes to an investigative agency for investigation, he will use a convoy of the Ministry of Justice, not a security service vehicle, as he did yesterday when he went out to examine the warrant.

Please also explain the situation in front of the detention center.

[Reporter]
Yes,

At the news of the issuance of an arrest warrant, some anti-impeachment protesters are gathering in front of the main gate again to cheer for President Yoon.

Supporters who couldn't hide their somber expressions are chanting slogans such as "Cheer up, President Yoon Suk Yeol."

Earlier, on one side in front of the detention center, people who supported the impeachment of President Yoon also gathered and held a rally.

As soon as the host reported the news of the arrest, everyone cheered loudly and showed the opposite atmosphere.

Since yesterday, the police have been separating the space between the two sides and putting in their careers to maintain order.

Even at dawn, some careers were deployed to prepare for contingencies and guarded the main gate of the detention center,
As both opposing and pro-impeachment
have reported daily rallies, tension is expected to continue in front of the detention center here for the time being.

So far, I'm Jung Hyunwoo from Seoul Detention Center.
