Protests by supporters of Yoon Suk Yeol's president have been intensifying since the afternoon of yesterday (18th) before the arrest warrant was issued.

Even during the interrogation of the suspect before the arrest, some protesters had already shown signs of illegal intrusion, such as crossing the court wall and assaulting the police.

Mapo-daero in front of the Seoul Western District Court was filled with protesters even while President Yoon Suk Yeol was interrogating the suspect before his arrest.

"Arrest warrant! Source invalid! The source is invalid!"

The police set up a car wall and put in about 4,000 task forces, but it was not enough.

There were big and small clashes everywhere.

Supporters surrounded the courthouse, and some excitedly broke in over the wall. I've been arrested for redemption.

When President Yoon left the court after reviewing the warrant, the threat from supporters intensified.

They jumped into the road and assaulted police and reporters who were covering it, and some of them were arrested.

Clashes that have erupted everywhere since the day continue throughout the day. Eventually, it turned out to be illegal court raids and violent occupation protests.
