Reporting from SeoulWe’re on the closest level to the the alleyway that leads as much as the doorway of the presidential compound – it is a lot nearer than we have been ready to get remaining time.However our view is blocked through dozens of police who’re limiting motion just about the compound.There are barricades in nearly each and every path and we’re just about the protesters, with many wrapped in thermal blankets.There are chants of “arrest Yoon”, jumbled in with the songs Hearth through Korean band BTS and APT through New Zealand and South Korean singer Rosé. The temper turns out fairly cheerful as critics of Yoon really feel his arrest is coming near near.In the meantime, supporters of Yoon are wearing banners which learn “forestall the thieve”, along Korean and US flags.Police are stated to have ramped up the numbers this time round – deploying about 1,000 officials
