Please tell us the atmosphere of the scene.

[Reporter]
Yes, I am at the candlelight vigil organized by 'Yoon Suk Yeol Immediate Resignation and Emergency Action for Great Social Reform', which began at 6 p.m. two hours ago.

It's past time to get off work, and the crowd is gradually flocking to fill the 200m section on one side of the Capitol.

Flags with various slogans, as well as various civic groups and political parties,
Citizens with candles and light sticks
are shouting slogans such as "Constitutional abuses and rebellion" and "immediate impeachment."

At the site, solidarity speeches and various performances by citizens of all ages, including teenage students, continued, and waves were also held.

For a while, we are preparing to march to the People's Power Party near the National Assembly.

In front of the company, a performance is scheduled to tear up a large banner with photos and names of members of the People's Power who missed the first impeachment vote.

Earlier, progressive groups, including the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, held a rally in front of Seoul City Hall to urge the impeachment of President Yoon.

While trying to march to Yeouido, where the People's Power Headquarters is located, he changed his route to the presidential office in Yongsan shortly after President Yoon's statement was announced.

In an instant, a large crowd gathered, and they confronted the rally participants for a while at a 300m distance from the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul, preventing police from heading to the residence.

Now, the rally in Yongsan is over, and all citizens participating in the rally are gathering here in Yeouido.

So far, in front of the National Assembly, I'm YTN Lee Jun-yeop.
