There was a tension in front of the presidential residence in Hannam-dong at the news that an arrest warrant was issued for President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of 'insurrection.'
This is because supporters of President Yoon gathered after hearing the news were enraged.
In fact, they shouted that the arrest was invalid, and even blocked police buses, causing chaos in the area.
He also pushed the line of order and even clashed with the police.
"Calm down, guys calm down. If you push more here, you'll get into a big accident."
On the contrary, there were cheers among citizens urging the arrest of President Yoon, saying, "Democracy has won."
