Tens of thousands of South Koreans have rallied in Seoul, demanding the ouster of president Park Geun-hye.
The latest wave of protests against Park would be one of the country's biggest in decades, with an estimated million participants. Members of main opposition parties joined the rally calling on Park to resign.
This indicates growing sentiment in parliament to take action to remove her from power. A Gallup Korea poll puts Park's approval rating at 5 percent for a second week.
