Ahead of the second impeachment vote against President Yoon Suk Yeol, a rally is underway in front of the National Assembly to call for impeachment.

A full-fledged rally began about 30 minutes ago with a large crowd, and when the plenary session of the National Assembly begins, we will watch the voting together.

Reporter Jung Hyun-woo, there's a big crowd at the rally.

Yes, this is in the middle of the roadway on Capitol Hill, and as you can see, there are lots of citizens sitting around on mats and cushions.

He is holding a hand sign calling for the impeachment of Yoon Suk Yeol's president or calling on the ruling party to join the impeachment.

You can also see them waving pickets and light sticks to the folk songs sung by singers on stage.

The rally calling for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol began in earnest at 3 p.m. today.

The atmosphere of the rally is rising as some citizens have also taken to the podium, raising their voices that the impeachment bill must pass the National Assembly this time.

Let's listen to the stories of the participants.

[Park Wan-geun / Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do: I came today with the mindset that impeachment must be made. Regardless of the political party, I hope you can vote for impeachment so that it can be impeached.

In particular, when the impeachment motion begins at 4 p.m., we will watch the situation of the National Assembly plenary session through electronic boards installed throughout the assembly site.

Traffic control around Yeouido seems to be considerable, but the subway is also passing through without stopping?

[Reporter]
Yes, the roads near the National Assembly, such as the National Assembly Boulevard, Yeouido Park Road, and National Assembly Boulevard, where I am currently located, are completely controlled.

In addition to the main roads, the number of controlled sections is increasing.

The police asked you to use public transportation such as subways if possible, and to check traffic information in advance if you are forced to use a vehicle.

However, trains on Seoul Subway Line 9 have been passing through the National Assembly and Yeouido Station without stopping since around 2:50 p.m., before the assembly begins.

In addition, eight bus stops around the National Assembly Station have been suspended.
