Yes, it's in front of the presidential residence, and an anti-impeachment rally is taking place 200 meters away from here.
During the overnight rally, the crowd decreased slightly due to the cold, but the number of participants increased again from the morning.
Participants of the rally, wrapped in padded jackets and scarves, can be seen gathering near the stage vehicle,
At the scene of
, there are slogans that President Yoon should be protected against the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the police.
On the other hand, the pro-impeachment side did not hold an overnight rally in the extreme cold.
Instead, stage vehicles have been set up around the official residence since this morning, with some signaling that they will enter an indefinite sit-in from this morning.
Some participants took to the stage and urged President Yoon to quickly execute the second arrest warrant.
From 3 p.m., regular gatherings will be held like yesterday, so the crowd is expected to continue to increase.
Police task force personnel are also deployed at the rally site in preparation for possible clashes.
Fences are being set up between the pros and cons rallies to control access, so there are some shouting among the participants, but there is no physical conflict.

Security was still tight as the second arrest warrant was being executed.
First of all, several buses are still forming a barrier on the outermost side, on the side of the iron gate, the first cordon blocked by the security service during the first execution.
Most of the iron doors are also tightly closed.
The security service is preparing for the execution of a second arrest warrant by putting circular barbed wire around the precinct and blocking access to some doors with chains.
It is difficult to check the situation of the 2nd and 3rd cordons further up the driveway here, but
As the possibility of mobilizing police criminal squads or special tow trucks is also mentioned when re-executing the
