How is the atmosphere at the presidential residence?
[Reporter]
Yes, there are no investigators or vehicles at the Joint Investigation Headquarters to execute the warrant like yesterday.
However, the road to the official residence is completely blocked by a double car wall, and many experiences are placed near the post, so we are paying close attention to the surroundings.
Security is stricter than usual, with citizens restricted to 200m from where I stand.
Park Jong-joon and Kim Sung-hoon, deputy head of the security service, who were booked yesterday on charges of obstructing the execution of the warrant and obstructing the execution of special affairs, requested a postponement of the police's summons to attend today.
Yoon said he could not leave for a moment because it was a serious time regarding the security of the president, but it seems that he had in mind the possibility of re-executing the warrant of the joint investigation.
If the government attempts to arrest President Yoon again, it is impossible to rule out the possibility of physical friction by confronting the security service as it did yesterday.
The on-site police are focusing on maintaining order in front of the presidential residence just in case.

There's a rally near the official residence for the arrest?
[Reporter]
Yes, near the official residence, rallies for the arrest of President Yoon have been going on since yesterday.
About 300 meters away from here, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions is staying up all night to hold a rally to call for the arrest of President Yoon.
Participants are shouting that they will not back down until President Yoon is arrested, saying that the security agency should open the official residence and cooperate with the government agency.
Conservative groups have also gathered nearby since early in the day to hold a rally to support President Yoon, and the size is expected to grow even larger this afternoon by signaling a regrouping.
Participants claim that the court-issued warrant itself is illegal, saying they will not relax because they do not know when they will try to execute the warrant again.
Police are setting up car walls and barricades in preparation for clashes between the two sides and controlling the scene,
Until the 6th, the validity of the
arrest warrant, tension near the official residence is not expected to go away.
So far, I'm Lee Hyun-jung of YTN near the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
