Some farmers came to Seoul with tractors, demanding the immediate arrest of President Yoon.

Did the police end up blocking the entry?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

Jeonnong side tried to enter Namtaeryeong Pass from around 12 p.m.

As the police built and blocked the car wall, two-way traffic to Gwacheon-daero was stalled.

In the process, some citizens protested against the police who blocked the road, and citizens who were using city buses toward Seoul got off and moved to the road.

Jeon Nong, who gathered together from Yeongnam and Honam regions, departed near Suwon City Hall at around 9 a.m. today.

The goal was to arrive at Gwanghwamun by 3 p.m. via Namtae-ryeong.

However, it is not expected to be easy to reach Gwanghwamun by blocking entry near Namtae-ryeong, as the police announced.
