On the morning of the 15th, police climbed over a barricade set up by the Presidential Security Service at the entrance to the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul, using a ladder. This occurred as the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) was re-executing an arrest warrant for President Yoon, marking the passing of the first line of defense by both the CIO and the police.
