While attention is being paid to the timing of the second arrest warrant execution, rallies for impeachment continue around the presidential residence despite the cold wave.
There's a reporter on the scene, reporter Lim Ye-jin!
The strongest cold wave hit this winter, so how is the situation at the rally in front of the official residence?
[Reporter]
As you can see, the weather is so cold that you can feel white breath and your whole body shrinks,
Around the presidential residence here in ∀, there are ongoing rallies for impeachment.
There were not many people staying on the ground last night, but the number of visitors is increasing as the day comes.
As temperatures plummeted below minus 10 degrees Celsius, participants are wearing thick coats and silver foil blankets, drinking warm tea and holding out the cold.
An anti-impeachment rally stage is set up on the road about 200 meters behind me,
Yoon's supporters are waving the Korean national flag and the American flag, shouting that the arrest warrant and impeachment against him are invalid.
Nearby, a pro-impeachment group, which has been on an indefinite overnight sit-in since yesterday, is calling for the arrest of President Yoon.
A full-fledged rally is scheduled in the afternoon, and people are expected to gather,
Concerns over physical conflict are also growing as confrontations continue, with participants from both sides swearing at each other.

How about the border of the official residence?
[Reporter]
On the 3rd, when the first warrant was executed, the access around the official residence itself was completely controlled,
Even now, there are still police coverings everywhere, but the passage of citizens is much freer.
However, the security posture of the official residence remains tight.
The access road to the official residence is tightly closed except when vehicles enter and exit,
Behind the
iron door, several large buses form layers of barrier walls, blocking the view.
Since the first attempt at execution, the security service has set up circular barbed wire fences throughout the precinct, and some doors are even chained to prepare for re-execution of arrest warrants.
It is difficult to check the situation of the second and third cordon inside here, but it is expected that the security service will be more vigilant than before.
