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 said that the same formal admission process as ordinary inmates, such as changing into prison uniforms, will take place today.

I'll connect you to a field reporter and find out more. Reporter Jeong Hyeonwoo!

Yes, this is the Seoul Detention Center.

President Yoon's formal detention process will proceed today?

[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, "The detention center determines the time of formal admission," adding, "The process will proceed today."

They say they cannot confirm the specific time, but some explained that it is expected after 9 a.m.The admission process for

is the same as other ordinary inmates.

It goes through so-called "Mugshot" filming, personal information confirmation, 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.

At 2 p.m., the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit has scheduled an investigation of President Yoon, but if he leaves the detention center, he will 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,

Some anti-impeachment protesters are gathering in front of the main gate, chanting slogans such as "President Yoon Suk Yeol, cheer up."

Earlier, there was news that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit notified President Yoon of the investigation at 2 p.m., but there are also reactions that seem to have become somewhat intense.

There is no one now, but some people who supported the impeachment of President Yoon gathered on one side of the detention center parking lot last night.

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.
