The anti-THAAD sentiment continues to run high in South Korea's Seongju county, where the missile  defense system will be deployed.

Local residents are set to stage a mass rally opposing the decision. The Anti-THAAD Committee of Seongju  said over 800 people have signed up for a "haircut protest" today. The protest will coincide with the  country's "National Liberation Day".

Seongju residents say the THAAD deployment makes their county a military target AND complain that it  carries potential threats to the environment.
