[QUOTE]Tens of thousands of South Koreans protested in central Seoul on Saturday in one the largest demonstrations in the country's capital for years, calling on embattled President Park Geun-hye to resign over a growing influence-peddling scandal. Roughly 43,000 people were at the candle-lit rally early on Saturday evening, according to police. Organizers said a growing crowd of 100,000 had assembled, making the protest one of the biggest since demonstrations in 2008 against U.S. beef imports. Park Geun-hye has been rocked by a scandal involving an old friend who is alleged to have used her closeness to the president to meddle in state affairs. Park has pledged to cooperate with prosecutors in an investigation. Koreans have been angered by the revelations and say Park, the latest South Korean leader to be embroiled in a scandal involving family or friends, has betrayed public trust and mismanaged her government. Her approval rating has slipped to just 5 percent according to a Gallup poll released on Friday, the lowest number for a South Korean president since such polling began in 1988. Police said they had deployed 17,600 officers and 220 units including buses and mobile barriers to Saturday's protest. Police in riot gear lined the alleys and streets leading to the presidential Blue House as the main body of the demonstration began the march through central Seoul. Park has sacked many of her immediate advisers over the crisis. A former aide, Jeong Ho-seong, was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of leaking classified information, a prosecution official told Reuters. No South Korean president has ever failed to finish their five-year term, but Park has faced growing pressure from the public and political opponents to quit.

the fact she hasn't resigned yet and instead thought an apology would be the perfect band aid is hilarious she's lost the trust of the people, how do we know she's still not being controlled by the puppeteers
I'm surprised Kim isn't moving in on the opportunity
Resign? I'm amazed she hasn't been arrested for this and forcibly removed from office or impeached.
She should be thrown in jail. What she did is quite possibly one of the most corrupt things I've ever heard of.
I'm kinda baffled how she hasn't resigned. You can't confess to being a puppet and just go to work the next day because you apologized.

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;51313042]I'm surprised Kim isn't moving in on the opportunity[/QUOTE] Unless he thinks it's a great time to invade South Korea, which would be retarded move( but I welcome it), he'd gain nothing. Everyone in South Korea knows Kim is full of shit and a monster.
[QUOTE=Dr.C;51313052]Resign? I'm amazed she hasn't been arrested for this and forcibly removed from office or impeached.[/QUOTE] They're trying to impeach her, but SK laws are significantly different from US laws, so I have absolutely no clue what hoops they have to jump through to do it.
She hasn't confessed to being a 'puppet', she has confessed to allowing improper access to herself politically by somebody without security clearance, who is corrupt and who is a cultist. Which is somewhat different.

And who has also helped raise her from childhood considering her parents were dead, and the previous leader of the cult pretended to be a vessel for the soul of her mother in order to indoctrinate her. She's a literal goddamn puppet.
Rasputin-tier shenanigans going down in SK.

Sounds like death of fuck tons of innocent people for shitty reasons amuses you.

Maybe he wants there to finally be a reason for other nations to come in and dismantle NK.
