In addition to the first arrest of a sitting president in constitutional history, the court rampage of President Yoon's supporters is also causing political repercussions.
The People's Power said it understood the feelings of its supporters but said violence was not allowed, and the Democratic Party strongly criticized it as unacceptable, calling it an act of destroying the judicial system.
I'm connecting with a reporter, reporter Jeong In-yong.
The ruling and opposition parties are also on high alert over the court rampage.
Please tell each of us to enter.

Yes, Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung pointed out in a press conference after a closed Supreme Council meeting that the court rampage that took place early this morning is an unacceptable act.
It is an act of destroying the judicial system for maintaining the order of the national community and destroying the basic order of the democratic republic.
He also stressed that this confusion will be a painstaking effort for a new start and that it will be overcome with the power of the people.
Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the party, also criticized it as very shocking, saying that protesters attacked a vehicle of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and assaulted an investigator at a general meeting of emergency lawmakers at 2 p.m., and went to catch a judge who issued an arrest warrant for President Yoon.
President Yoon is fundamentally responsible for all the incidents, and he urged us to stop propaganda that denies the rule of law and cooperate with the investigation even now.
Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee of the People's Power, also stressed that illegal acts of violence do not help anyone, saying there have been harsh protests from some citizens.
Repeatedly asking citizens to refrain that there should be no more physical violence,
The power of the people says it is firmly against all kinds of violence.
Kwon Sung-dong, the floor leader of the party, appealed that violence should not be allowed to gain more citizens' sympathy by giving their opinions within the legal framework.
However, he said that it was not possible to unilaterally hold protesters responsible for the violence, and that it is necessary to find out the truth about the police's overreaction.

The ruling and opposition parties have made a stark difference over the issuance of an arrest warrant for President Yoon.
Please tell me about that, too.

Yes. Kwon Young-se, chairman of the emergency committee of the People's Power, said in an emergency meeting held after President Yoon's arrest that he felt miserable and heartbroken.
All suspects expressed regret over the court's judgment that the principle was broken, although the principle is to investigate without detention.
In particular, President Yoon emphasized the urgent need to guarantee defense rights as he is also being impeached by the Constitutional Court apart from the investigation.
In addition, the court rejected the warrant, saying that Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, is the leader of the main opposition party, and Cho Kuk, the former leader of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, was not arrested in court even after he was sentenced to prison in the second trial.
Kwon Sung-dong, the floor leader, also said that the fairness and credibility of the judiciary have fallen to the ground, and that he even feels sad.
On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Korea said that it is natural to issue an arrest warrant for President Yoon,
In a written briefing, spokesman Kim Sung-hoe said, "The court's judgment was common sense to the perpetrator of the rebellion crime, which was witnessed in real time by the whole nation."
He then mentioned that the issuance of warrants will be a cornerstone for correcting the collapsed constitutional order.
The Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit again asked President Yoon, who refuses to investigate, to investigate strictly and thoroughly so that reasonable punishment can be made.
The Democratic Party also asked Acting President Choi Sang-mok to re-approve the Insurrection Special Prosecutor Act, saying that if he agrees with the civil war under the guise of neutrality, the people will not tolerate it.
