关于韩国总统的丑闻事件，持续发酵。

Tens of thousands of South Koreans engulfed a square in central Seoul Saturday, shouting for the ouster of President Park Geun-hye even after the embattled president's second apology to the nation over a scandal surrounding her longtime confidante, Choi Soon-sil.

From couples wheeling a baby carriage, teenagers in school uniforms to gray-haired old men, all took to the Gwanghwamun Square, with red posters reading "Step Down, Park Geun-hye" or paper cup-wrapped candles in their hands.

Slogans in the posters vary from "Shut up and Resign" to "Saenuri is an accomplice." Saenuri is the name of the ruling party affiliated with President Park.

Police estimated that about 43,000 people attended the rally, almost quadrupling a 12,000-strong protest held a week earlier. Organizers said as many as 150,000 turned out when including those coming back after early participation.

People screamed for Park's resignation in chorus at an event organized by civic groups that formally kicked off at 4 p.m. local time. With angry shouts, they looked reaching out to the presidential Blue House that is Park's office and residence located just 1-2 kilometers away from the square.

A long procession marched along the road for around two hours before gathering again in the square. During the march, they shouted in unison, "We want no apology. Step down, Park Geun-hye."
