As President Yoon announced this afternoon that he would attend the impeachment trial in person, more supporters are expected to flock to the detention center and the Constitutional Court.

Connects the field reporter. Reporter Facial expression!

[Reporter]
Yes, this is the Seoul Detention Center.

It's still early, so how's the atmosphere at the site?

[Reporter]
Yes, it's early in the morning, so there aren't many people yet and it's a quiet atmosphere.

Some rally participants are also staying inside the public shelter.

However, about a dozen supporters of President Yoon have been coming out since dawn and shouting slogans for immediate release.

If you go around, there are signs of opposition to impeachment to fight with the president and banners in favor of calling for the president to be fired.Since the arrest of President

Yoon, the main gate in front of the detention center here has been a rally for impeachment for days.

Both the pros and cons predicted a daily counter-rally while President Yoon was arrested,

Today, 6,000 opposition parties and 400 pro-choice groups have been reported to the rally, mainly by conservative groups such as the New Freedom Alliance.

In particular, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's attempt to force President Yoon to recruit him continued until late at night yesterday afternoon, raising tensions here.

The police are flexibly deploying and controlling two to four task forces depending on the size of the number of people at the site.

By separating the assembly space between the two sides, they are preparing for any contingencies such as physical conflicts.On the day of President Yoon's arrest, the Western District Court riot broke out in

The police are also making every effort to manage the assembly situation.

Since yesterday, security has been strengthened near Gwacheon Airborne Office in Gyeonggi Province, including the deployment of patrol car bases during commuting hours to protect employees,

The police are also preparing hard-line measures such as the use of tear gas and tridobong.

In the afternoon, President Yoon himself announced his attendance at the Constitutional Court, right?

[Journalist]
Yes, that's right.

At 2 p.m. today at the Constitutional Court in Jongno-gu, Seoul, the third day of the impeachment trial will be held,
President Yun said in a media announcement that the president will attend the hearing in person.

The Seoul Detention Center and the Constitutional Court are also busy strengthening their vigilance as they suddenly announced their intention to attend.President

Yoon is expected to leave this place in the afternoon, and the Ministry of Justice will escort him and the presidential security will follow the convoy, as he did when he went to the Western District Court for a warrant review on the 18th.Attention is also being paid to what President

Yoon will look like, but according to regulations, plain clothes are also allowed, so chances are high that he will wear a suit rather than a prison uniform as he did during the court warrant review.

In addition, considering the current presidential status, it is expected that he will not fill the rope like last time.

At the same time, it is hard to rule out the concern that supporters will flock to the Seoul Detention Center or the Constitutional Court around the impeachment trial time.

In addition, since President Yoon said that he would all attend the Constitutional Court's impeachment trial if possible in the future, it seems inevitable that a lot of congestion due to rallies and security guards will be inevitable for a while.

So far, I'm YTN's facial expression Woo at the Seoul Detention Center.
