Protesters holding cell phones and wearing Korean flags try to break through the police cordon and enter the court.

When news of the issuance of an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol spread, President Yoon's supporters crossed the fence and attacked the Western District Court, where the warrant was reviewed.

Forced to rip out the cage, lift the door shutters, or break the windows and break into the courthouse one after another.

They smashed glass and furniture with shields and chairs taken from the police.

The police block the supporters and demand the dissolution, but regardless, they fight back by spraying fire extinguishers.

At this time, protesters outside the building tore off the sign at the entrance of the main gate of the Western District Court and trampled on it, hitting the signboard left on the floor to the table.

In addition, the police barricade was dragged to block the area near the back gate to prevent additional police personnel from accessing it.

Following the arrest of a sitting president in constitutional history, the morning dawned, leaving the stigma of an unprecedented court raid and a riot.
