South Korea's protests against President Park Geun-hye continue to gather steam.

Third party monitors have pegged the attendance closer to the 1 million mark than the low-hundred-thousands, as police said.
Protesters are demanding Park step down amid a corruption scandal. She's being accused of allowing longtime-friend Choi Soon-sil to manipulate power, and extort millions from companies.
The public has been calling for Park's impeachment, and that demand has been mounting. She comes to the end of her five-year term in February next year, and unless she steps down, she has constitutional immunity.
The weekend rallies have stretched from midday to late night, and have drawn participants from further out, in suburbs and farmlands to the capital.
