With the arrest warrant issued, President Yoon Suk Yeol is moved from the waiting room for the suspect to the detention center.

The Ministry of Justice explained that it will go through the same formal admission process as ordinary inmates, such as changing into prison uniforms after 9 a.m.,

Let's connect with the field reporter to find out more. Reporter Jeong Hyeonwoo!

Did President Yoon's formal detention process go through?

[Reporter]
Once arrested, President Yoon must 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 that the detention center is expected to set the time for the formal admission process on its own, and that it is expected to be after 9 a.m.

When asked about whether the admission process will proceed, he explained that he would announce it as soon as it is confirmed.

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

detention center will be the same as other ordinary inmates.

It goes through procedures such as taking a so-called "Mugshot" and receiving a death penalty number in addition to personal information and a detailed physical examination.

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.Even if President

Yoon goes to an investigative agency for investigation, he is expected to use a convoy of the Ministry of Justice rather than a security service vehicle as he did yesterday when he went out to review the warrant.

At the news of the arrest warrant, some supporters gathered in front of the detention center?

[Reporter]
Yes,

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

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

There is no one now, but some people gathered last night in the parking lot of the detention center to support the impeachment of President Yoon.

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

The police are separating the space between the two sides and putting their careers into order.

Some careers have been deployed since dawn to prepare for contingencies, guarding the main entrance 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.
