South Korea's Constitutional Court is set to rule Friday on whether to strip impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol of office over his abortive declaration of martial law which plunged the country into political chaos.
Yoon, who has defended his December 3 attempt to subvert civilian rule as necessary to root out "anti-state forces", still commands the backing of die-hard supporters, who have staged protests for weeks in the run-up to the verdict.
