How's the situation on the ground?

[Reporter]
I'm at the crosswalk in front of the presidential office in Yongsan.

The scene, which has been noisy since the declaration of martial law, seems to have calmed down a little at late dawn.

The police, who once filled the road, are now in the mood of dispersing a lot.

However, the police still control the walk to the president's office.

Earlier, the police ordered reporters and citizens to disperse, saying they should not be crowded.

Our YTN reporters also tried to get closer to the president's office and cover it, but they withdrew for a while.

But now, the situation is more relaxed than before, so I can approach the crosswalk where I am now.

There was a civil conflict, too?

[Reporter]
There were once physical fights and violent verbal fights among the citizens here.

Citizens who had disagreements over the declaration of martial law threw sharp criticism at each other.

However, fortunately, no one has been hurt yet.

At one point, there was also a civil inconvenience caused by walking control.

One citizen did not hide his discomfort, saying, "How am I supposed to go home when all the roads are blocked?"

Also, now citizens on their way home can pass through if they explain the situation.

We will continue to give you additional news.

So far, this is YTN Kim Da-hyun near the presidential office in Yongsan, Seoul.
