Supporters of impeachment are calling for President Yoon's arrest and are exerting pressure on him in front of the government office. Meanwhile, opponents of impeachment are criticizing the illegal issuance of the arrest warrant and preparing for a second attempt by the High-Ranking Public Officials Crimes Investigation Agency to execute the arrest warrant.
On the 4th, near the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, rallies for and against impeachment were held simultaneously.
The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), which entered the rally, began a demonstration march at noon on the same day. However, they were stopped by police near a building. During the process, two KCTU members were arrested by the police.
One union member was injured when he was taken away from the scene on suspicion of assaulting a police officer. A Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) bus was set up near the demonstration site, carrying slogans such as "Arrest Yoon Seok-youl and restore constitutional order," "Rebel group," and "
The slogan read, "Let's bring Yoon Seok-youl to justice and restore democracy." The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) raised its voice, saying, "If the investigative authorities cannot arrest Yoon Seok-youl, we will go and arrest him ourselves."
A rally against the impeachment of President Yoon is being held in front of the International Lutheran Church. The participants are protesting against President Park Jung-jun's arrest, who thwarted the execution of an arrest warrant by the High-Ranking Public Officials Investigation Agency the previous day.
They applauded Chief Young of the National Guard and defended the agency. The rally participants, holding the Taegeukgi and Stars and Stripes, chanted slogans such as "Impeachment is invalid" and "Disband the Agency for Investigation of Crimes by High-Ranking Public Officials."
They also called for Lee Jae-myung to be arrested and Moon Jae-in to be executed, and took a harsh stance against the Office for Investigation of Crimes by High-Ranking Public Officials, calling for it to be dismantled.
A participant in his 20s from Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, said, "They have committed all sorts of illegal acts, bribed judges, and even ignored the provisions of the law to arrest President Yoon, who is innocent of any crime.
"Is this situation going to continue?" he said. A man in his 70s who had been guarding the scene since the evening of the previous day said, "I spent the whole night worrying that the High-Ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Agency might come today.
Meanwhile, the High-Ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Agency filed charges against Park and Kim Sung-Hoon, deputy chief of the security service, on the previous day for special obstruction of public duties, and requested that they appear on the same day.
"This is a very sensitive time for presidential security, and the chief and deputy chief of the security service cannot leave their posts even for a moment," he said, refusing to comply with the summons.
