South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol 's supporters blocked his arrest on Friday morning .

They formed a human wall and used vehicles to block the arrest team's path, according to local media.

Yoon 's martial law order was followed by an impeachment vote and a warrant for his arrest.

Experts believe the security service could have acted out of loyalty to Yoon or under "a misguided understanding of their legal and constitutional role", says Mason Richey .

They may attempt to arrest Yoon again over the weekend , although the weekend could pose a bigger challenge if the crowds of supporters grow. They can also apply for a new warrant and try to detain him again. Given how far South Korea has now slid into uncharted territory, the uncertainty is likely to continue.
