One million candles in central Seoul call for Pres. Park Geun-hye’s resignation

The South Korean people demonstrated their power with the biggest public assembly since 1987

One million people – it was the most people to congregate in downtown Seoul since the democratization movement in June 1987. The four streets that converge at the Gwanghwamun intersection twinkled with the glow of candles and cell phones held aloft by demonstrators. On the evening of Nov. 12, “the politics of the public square” was truly at work in downtown Seoul.

At the Blue House on Nov. 12, all officials with the rank of senior secretary and higher were on emergency duty and were periodically holding internal meetings. The people inside the Blue House must have heard the roar of the crowds, too. While President Park Geun-hye refuses to even step back into a secondary role in the government, a million candles made clear that the majority of the public call for her resignation. […]

Many protesters brought their entire families to the streets. There were quite a few young children rolling along in strollers or hitching a ride in their mother or father’s baby slings. A range of age groups was represented, from youngsters in school uniforms to the elderly. One by one, they came together to create a huge tide a million strong. After the main demonstration resumed at Gwanghwamun Square at 8 pm, groups of protesters took turns holding up their candles and mobile phone at the emcee’s request, creating a “candlelit wave” that rippled through central Seoul.

“Park still doesn’t seem to know what the people want. I came out because I wanted to let her know that she is the primary cause of the chaos in the government, since she has completely betrayed our faith and trust,” said a 40-year-old office worker surnamed Lim, who came early to the area by the stage at Gwanghwamun Plaza with his two children.

“How can a president who delegated the affairs of state to someone like Choi Sun-sil have the nerve to talk about putting the government back together again? I came with my daughter, who is in university, with the idea that every person counts,” said a homemaker who lives in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province.
