This is a fracture update. The previous version of this story can be read below.
The Constitutional Court in South Korea should decide on Friday to abolish President Yoon Suk Yela, whether he was removed from his duties or renewed his powers for four months after the conservative leader threw the land into restlessness with an unfortunate statement of work law.
The court was supposed to make a judgment of Yoon on a national television session that will start at 11am in local time. At least six of his eight judges must vote to remove Yoon to support the impets.
If the court orders that Yoon has removed, a national election will be held within two months to find a new president. If the court judges the president, he will immediately return to the presidential duties.
Yoon’s statement of a martial arts law on December 3 lasted only six hours before he was forced to raise him after the legislation under the control of liberal opposition quickly managed to vote. Later in December, the Assembly abolished Yoon, suspending its powers and sending its case to the Constitutional Court. Yoon faces a separate criminal trial for alleged rebellion.
Regardless of the judgment on Friday, experts predict that they will further deepen domestic divisions. In the last four months, millions have come out to the streets to condemn or support Yoon, deepening the already severe conservative-liberal division of South Korea.
South Korean investigators left the official residence of the relaxed President Yoon Suk Yela after almost six o’clock on Friday, during which he defied their attempt to delay him. Jeremy Chan, a senior analyst in China and northeast Asia, Eurasia Group, says he is “deeply concerned” about the state of democracy in South Korea.
Faced with worries that violence could break out after the verdict, police deployed thousands of officers on Thursday and set police buses, overturned fences and plastic barricades to sealed the streets leading to the field. The army announced that it was planning to increase its own posture supervision.
Thousands of rival protesters continued their gatherings, referring to a final appeal to the court to support or reject the Yoon Empire.
“We have been exhausted and worn for four months now, but our anger towards Yoon Suk Yeol remains strong,” the protester Kim Mi-Rally shouted during the rally against Jooon.
Earlier that day, Yoon fans gathered nearby, waving South Korean and American flags and raising the signs that said: “The false imprants will surely be rejected.” On stage, the protest leader repeatedly led the song “Let’s protect him!”

The most modern question on Yoon’s trial was why he sent hundreds of soldiers and police officers to the National Assembly, election offices and other places after declaring a martial art.
Although the period of martial arts ended without violence, the Proposal of the Empire accuses Yoon of violating the Constitution and other laws by suppressing the assignment activities, trying to delay politicians and undergo peace throughout the country.
Yoon said his shipping soldiers were supposed to hold a turn in the assembly. He also said that he had imposed a ratiral law in a desperate attempt to draw attention to the “wickedness” of the main liberal opposition democratic party, which obstructed his agenda and interfered with many of his best officials. However, the high military and police officers sent to the Assembly testified that Yoon ordered them to delay rival politicians and prevent the Voice Assembly.
Prime Minister Han Duck-Soo, acting leader’s duties, has repeatedly invited the rival side to accept everything the court rendered on Friday.
Shin Yoon-Hye, 63, an office worker who attended a demonstration against Yoon three times, said he would gather again against Yoon if the court renewed his presidential powers.
“If Yoon’s imperative rolls over, our country will immerse themselves in the abyss,” she said. “Yoon tried to solve things by force when he was politically taken to the corner. That was wrong. We are a democratic country and needed a political compromise.”
