This is a broken update. A previous version of this story can be read below.

South Korea’s Constitutional Court will rule on Friday that President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment will either remove him or restore his power four months after Conservative leaders pass a quarantine law to declare his unfortunate armed forces dismiss the country.

The court originally scheduled to make a judgment on Yoon at a national televised conference that began at 11 a.m. local time. At least six of its eight judges must vote to remove themselves in order to maintain impeachment.

If the court orders the removal of the dollar, national elections will be held within two months in search of a new president. If the court ruled against the president, he would immediately restore the presidential duties.

Yoon announced the martial law on December 3 for six hours after he was forced to lift it as the liberal opposition legislature quickly managed to vote it down. In late December, the General Assembly blasted YOON, suspending his powers and sending his case to the Constitutional Court. Yoon faces another criminal trial for alleged rebellion.

Whatever Friday’s verdict is, experts predict it will further deepen the domestic divide. Millions of street condemn or support the Mon in the past four months have deepened South Korea’s already harsh conservative liberal divisions.

After facing the ruling, police deployed thousands of officers on Thursday and replaced thousands of officers, placed them behind police concerns, and placed police buses, rolled fences and plastic barricades to block the streets leading to the court. The military said it plans to improve its surveillance posture.

Thousands of rival protesters continued to rally, making a final appeal to the court to defend or reject Yoon Won’s impeachment.

“We’ve been exhausted and exhausted for four months, but our anger at Yoon Suk Yeol is still strong,” protester Kim Mi-OK shouted during an anti-mountain rally.

Earlier in the day, Yoon supporters rally nearby, waving flags from South Korea and the United States and putting out signs that read: “The fraudulent impeachment will surely be dismissed.” On the stage, a protest leader repeatedly led “Let’s protect him!”

The most controversial question in Yin Dan’s trial was why he sent hundreds of troops and police to the National Assembly, the election office and elsewhere after the martial law was announced.

Although there is no violence during the martial law period, the impeachment motion accused the Lord of violating the Constitution and other laws, trying to detain politicians and undermine peace across the country by curbing rallying activities.

Yoon said he sent soldiers to keep order. He also said he desperately imposed martial law in an attempt to draw attention to the “evil” of the main liberal opposition Democrats, which hindered his agenda and blasted many of his senior officials. But senior military and police officials sent to parliament testified that Yoon ordered them to detain rival politicians and prevent parliament from voting.

The country’s acting leader, Prime Minister Han Duck-Soo, has repeatedly urged competitors to accept any rulings made by the court on Friday.

Shin Yoon-Hye, 63, participated in three counter-declarations and said she would once again oppose Yoon if the court restored his presidential power.

“If Yoon’s impeachment is overthrown, our country will fall into the abyss,” she said. “Yoon tried to solve things with all his strength when he was driven politically to a corner. It was wrong. We are a democracy and he should pursue political compromise.”
