But Mr. Yoon still had die-hard supporters among mostly older South Koreans, with conservative churches organizing them in large rallies in downtown Seoul.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many of them have moved near Mr. Yoon\u2019s residence since a Seoul court issued a warrant on New Year\u2019s Eve for officials to detain him for questioning. In a message delivered to his supporters on New Year\u2019s Day, Mr. Yoon called them \u201ccitizens who love freedom and democracy\u201d and thanked them for braving the cold weather to show their support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI will fight with you to the end to save this country,\u201d Mr. Yoon said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Cha Myong-in, a former conservative lawmaker, urged Yoon supporters to form \u201ca human chain\u201d to deny officials access to the presidential residence. Dozens of supporters lay on the pavement, with their arms locked, across the alley leading to Mr. Yoon\u2019s residence. Police removed them, with some protesters dragged away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe president is like the king, and how can you treat your king like this?\u201d said Lee Young-jin, 65, referring to the court warrant that empowered officials to detain Mr. Yoon. \u201cThe presidential guard should throw grenades if necessary to stop them from coming near the president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Lee Won-ok, 59, who showed up at the pro-Yoon rally with his white Maltese dog, blamed opposition lawmakers for driving Mr. Yoon to declare his martial law out of desperation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey did everything they could to obstruct his work, like slashing his government budget plans,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is so unfair because I don\u2019t think President Yoon has done anything wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of supporters of President Yoon Suk Yeol have been camped out for days on the pavement near his home in central Seoul, vowing to block anyone from trying to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":388,"featured_media":2781,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
