The attorney at the petition said such an important decision that can influence the fate of the whole nation must have been made known beforehand to the public and the parliament, asking the court to make public upcoming hearings on the petition to let people know about what went wrong with the THAAD deployment.
The petitioners claimed the U.S. missile shield deployment in their territory is unconstitutional as it violates rights to peaceful life, health and environment, which the country's constitution guarantees.
THAAD's AN/TPY-2 radar is known to emit super microwave, detrimental to human body and environment. South Korea's defense ministry refused to disclose information on its hazardousness, boosting anxiety among residents.
There has been no public data available on the radar's powers, but available information suggested that the radar emits 81 kilowatts on average and 410 kilowatts at the peak based on 25,344 modules used in the X-band radar, according to the petition document.
The radar in South Korea will be deployed in the middle of a village, being exposed to hundreds of thousands of people. It would be in a stark contrast to radars installed in the United States and Japan facing the sea or desert.
The THAAD deployment site was changed in September last year into a Lotte-owned golf course at the Soseongri village in the northern part of the Seongju county bordering the Gimcheon city.
