President Yoon Suk Yeol is now being investigated while being detained in Seoul Detention Center.

We went through the formal admission process today, and supporters' rallies continue all day around the detention center.

There is a reporter on the scene.

Reporter Lee Hyunjung!

The president of Yoon Suk Yeol was imprisoned in a detention center, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the detained president of 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 embroidery with a death penalty number written on it, not in plain clothes, but he is expected to be imprisoned in solitary confinement considering that he is a sitting president.

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 I leave the detention center for investigation tomorrow, I will use a convoy from the Ministry of Justice rather than a security service vehicle as I did yesterday when the warrant was reviewed.

It's late, but are rallies continuing around the detention center?

[Reporter]
Yes, in front of the detention center, there are rallies of supporters of President Yoon all day long.

Entering the evening, most of them left the scene promising to meet again tomorrow.

However, some are keeping their seats and calling for invalidity of the president's restraint.

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.

Dangerous situations were also occasionally staged, such as interrupting 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 for the time being, as both opposing and pro-impeachment have reported daily counter rallies.
