Rallys have been held since early morning around the Seoul detention center where President Yoon is detained.

As President Yoon announced this afternoon that he would attend the impeachment trial in person, supporters are gathered in front of the detention center.

Connects the field reporter. Reporter Facial expression!What is the atmosphere of the

detention center?

[Reporter]
Yes, now some supporters of President Yoon are gathered in front of the detention center.

Supporters have been coming out since dawn and chanting slogans to release the president immediately.

As the afternoon approaches, the atmosphere is expected to rise as more rally participants gather.

Several rallies have been reported in front of the detention center today, mainly by conservative groups.

However, a large number of people have not gathered yet, but opposition to the impeachment are expected to gather at a rally around the Constitutional Court today.

In front of the detention center, some pro-impeachment people are gathering to call for the president's dismissal, but the police have separated the two sides.

The perimeter around the Seoul Detention Center is strengthening?

[Reporter]
Yes, the police and fire departments have been preparing since early in the morning in case the rally intensifies.

Fire trucks and patrol cars are deployed around the Seoul Detention Center to prevent clashes between participants.

Police are planning to deploy more than 400 mobile workers, seven units more than usual, around the detention center today.

The police are making more efforts to manage the assembly situation, especially after the Western District Court riot.

Since yesterday, security has been strengthened near the Gwacheon Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit to protect employees, including the deployment of patrol car bases during commuting hours,

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

President Yoon's attendance at the Constitutional Court is approaching this afternoon. You're taking a convoy, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

The third hearing of the impeachment trial will be held at the Constitutional Court in Jongno-gu, Seoul at 2 p.m. today.President

Yoon will be escorted by the Ministry of Justice and the Presidential Security Service following the convoy, as he did when he went to the Western District Court for a warrant review on the 18th.President

Yoon is also allowed to wear plain clothes according to the regulations, so chances are high that he will wear a suit instead of a prison uniform as he did at the time of the court's warrant review.

Considering the current presidential status, it is expected that he will not be able to kick the rope like last time.Congestion around the Seoul Detention Center due to rallies and security seems inevitable for a while, as President

Yoon also expressed his intention to attend the Constitutional Court's impeachment trial if possible.

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