President Yoon Suk Yeol is now being investigated while being detained in Seoul Detention Center.
We went through the formal admission process today, and there are angry rallies of supporters around the detention center.
There is a reporter on the scene. Reporter Lee Hyunjung!
President Yoon Suk Yeol is now being investigated under arrest, right?
[Reporter]
With the arrest warrant issued, President Yoon Suk Yeol went through the formal admission process at the Seoul Detention Center today.
It seems that he left the waiting room for the suspect, who was staying after the execution of the arrest warrant on the 15th, and moved to a general detention center.
Now, he has to live in a khaki-colored embroidery with a death penalty number written on it, not in plain clothes, but considering that he is the incumbent president, he is expected to be held in solitary confinement.
In light of 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 lived in a similar size solitary cell in the eastern Seoul Detention Center.President
Yoon refused to comply with the Airborne Service's notification to attend at 2 p.m. today, and has been staying in a detention center since completing the warrant review yesterday.
If we leave the detention center for investigation in the future, we will use a convoy from the Ministry of Justice rather than a security service vehicle as we did yesterday when reviewing the warrant.

Supporters rally keeps getting fiery, how's the situation in the detention center?
[Reporter]
Next to me, supporters who gathered at the news of President Yoon's arrest are holding rallies all day waving their light sticks.
Entering the evening, some left the scene, but there are still large numbers of people shouting "Presidential Release."
He also argued that it was a legitimate judgment for unfair warrant issuance for breaking into the Western District Court early this morning and causing violence.
There are also occasional dangerous situations, such as disturbing and threatening reporters filming protesters behind the fence.
Nearby, some people are calling for the impeachment of President Yoon.
Earlier this morning, when the news of the issuance of an arrest warrant for President Yoon spread, he could also be seen cheering and welcoming at the scene.
The police are focusing on maintaining order by putting two task forces around the detention center to prevent clashes between the two sides.
Tensions around the detention center are expected to continue to rise for the time being, as both opposing and pro-impeachment have reported daily counter rallies.
