It was a never-ending stream of people. As of 7:30 p.m., Saturday, around 1 million people gathered at Gwanghwamun, central Seoul, calling for President Park Geun-hye to step down, according to the rally's organizers.

People from all walks of life chanted, "Park should step down," in a huge demonstration against the President who is under pressure over the influence-meddling scandal involving her confidant Choi Soon-sil. The police estimated 220,000 citizens were there.
