Yoon was impeached by lawmakers over his disastrous December 3 declaration of martial law, and the court last month held weeks of tense impeachment hearings to determine whether to officially remove him from office.
On Saturday main streets through central Seoul were filled with protesters for and against Yoon carrying political signs and waving flags despite the cold weather.
“The ongoing delays have led to a growing sense of scepticism.”
“The Constitutional Court won’t be able to ignore us. Look at us, there so many of us here,“ said Lee Hye-sook, 58.
It has typically issued rulings within weeks for past presidential impeachment cases, but it has taken longer over Yoon's case, without providing a reason.
But the wait has also given rise to a surge in speculation, with some suggesting the justices must be experiencing tense disagreements.
Yoon also faces a criminal trial on charges of insurrection over the martial law bid, making him the first sitting South Korean president to stand trial in a criminal case.
This week an appeals court overturned an election law conviction against Lee, potentially clearing the way for him to mount a presidential campaign.
But if it is reinstated on appeal, he will be stripped of his parliamentary seat and barred from running for office for five years, including the next presidential vote.
