Yesterday, an arrest warrant was issued for the president of Yoon Suk Yeol.Near the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, where

Yoon is known to be staying, citizens who are in favor of or against the arrest are confronting again today.

Let's connect reporters to look at the atmosphere on the spot. Reporter YOO JI HYUN!

[Reporter]
Yes, I'm in front of my official residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.

Please tell me what the atmosphere is like near the official residence.

[Reporter]
Behind me, citizens who oppose the arrest of President Yoon are waving the Korean national flag and the American flag and insisting on the "nullity of impeachment."

We set up a stage and started a full-fledged rally.

On the other side, citizens are calling for arrest, and the police have separated the two sides with fences for fear of clashes.

Let's listen to the pros and cons one by one.

[Yeo Heejin / Anyang City, Gyeonggi Province: I came here two days ago and stayed up all night for two days.... I think I hope the president will be arrested as soon as possible and bad politics will be resolved.]

[Cho Kyung-sun / Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do: He's the president with the highest advantage. It doesn't make sense to arrest the president. That doesn't happen in the world. We're going to stop it now. [No arrest]

Since the request for an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol, both pros and cons have gathered near the official residence.

When the arrest warrant was issued yesterday, there were cheers, sighs, and mixed reactions.

Some citizens opposed to impeachment were stopped while trying to enter the official residence by pushing the police.

The police are keeping a close eye on the situation today.

How's the police move?

[Reporter]
Yes, there is no movement of investigators to execute the warrant yet.

However, it is not possible for reporters to access the vicinity of the official residence, and security is strict.

The Presidential Security Service says "protection measures" will be taken in accordance with due process regarding the execution of warrants.

As the security service has repeatedly prevented the search and seizure attempts by the joint investigation headquarters, there is a possibility that it will physically prevent the execution of the warrant by the joint investigation headquarters again this time.

The police are first focusing on maintaining order in front of the official residence in case of emergency.
