SOUTH Korea’s most recent political crisis has entered a new and possibly final stage, as momentum builds to oust scandal-ridden right-wing President Park Geun Hye.
At the weekend, an estimated one million demonstrators took to the streets of Seoul, while thousands more demonstrated in other major centres, such as Busan and Jeju Island, calling for Park to go.
Park has confessed to a bizarre political relationship with the daughter of a former religious cult leader, who befriended her more than 30 years ago. She denies any illegal acts.
