The president of Yoon Suk Yeol was imprisoned in a detention center, right?
[Reporter]
The detained president of Yoon Suk Yeol went through a formal admission process at a Seoul detention center today.
He left the waiting room for the suspect, who was staying after executing the arrest warrant on the 15th, and is now expected to be in a general detention center.
Now, he has to wear a khaki embroidery with a death penalty number, not plain clothes, but he is expected to live 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.

Please also tell us the atmosphere around the detention center.
[Reporter]
Today, the detention center was noisy all day with supporters gathered at the news of President Yoon's arrest.
About an hour ago, I broke up with a promise to get together again tomorrow, so I'm in a calm atmosphere now.
Supporters held up the Korean national flag and the American flag and shouted invalidity of President Yoon's arrest.
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.
Also, dangerous situations were occasionally staged, such as interrupting and threatening reporters filming protesters behind the fence.
Nearby, some people could also be seen 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 cheered and welcomed at the scene.
The police put two task forces around the detention center and focused on maintaining order 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.
