What is the current situation on-site?
[Reporter]
Yesterday, around 20 supporters gathered in front of the detention center.
A rally welcoming the detention was planned, but it was canceled due to rain. The area in front of the detention center is quiet with only occasional passersby.
Last night, right after the arrest warrant was issued, opinions were divided between citizens supporting and opposing her detention.
As of now, no protests have been reported in front of Seoul Southern Detention Center.
Although the police are patrolling the area around the detention center, there are no plans to deploy additional riot squads.

Has Kim Kun-hee been admitted to the detention center?
[Reporter]
Yes, it has been reported that Kim Kun-hee completed the formal admission process at the detention center this morning.
She underwent a detailed physical examination and changed into prison clothes. She also received an inmate number and had her mugshot taken.
With lunchtime approaching, she will be provided with the same meal as other inmates.
However, it is understood that she will be in solitary confinement, like former President Yoon, rather than in a shared cell. This seems to be a measure considering her status as the former president’s spouse.
All dedicated security personnel have been withdrawn, and dedicated correctional officers will oversee her custody.
Therefore, when she is taken for investigations by prosecution agencies, she will use a Ministry of Justice transport vehicle instead of a security vehicle.
