South Korea: Up to 1 Million Call for President Park's Resignation
------------------------------------------------------------------

In South Korea, as many as 1 million people took to the streets of Seoul
Saturday to demand the resignation of President Park Geun-hye, who is
embroiled in a corruption scandal. It was the largest protest in South
Korea in over a decade. Park faces accusations she has been following
foreign and domestic policy advice from a close friend who has no
political experience and is accused of embezzling up to $70 million.
This is one of the protesters.

Park Je-sang: "This bad person, who was not elected by us, has been
controlling the country. I was angry, because our president was nothing
but a puppet. I am furious for all these reasons."
