According to a local pollster survey, 69.4 percent respondents said Park should be taken into custody for investigation. Those in favor of probe without detention were 17.8 percent, while just 9.6 percent people were against any investigation.
An overwhelming majority of South Koreans, both liberal and conservative, demanded in one voice that corruptions and unfairness be cleared away.
"The ancient regime symbolized by Park Geun-hye came to an end, and a new era will be ushered in," said Peter Lee, an office worker who attended the boisterous candlelight vigil.
Lee said both progressive and conservative voters shouted in union for the end of the Park government, which he said would be the best legacy left behind candlelight vigils. Park's ouster means justice still prevails in South Korea, he added.
But the possibility of conflicts still remains. Hundreds of meters away from the square, loyalists to Park held a separate rally, refusing to accept the court's decision. They claimed that Park is innocent and the trial is unconstitutional.
Three Park supporters died in the pro-Park demonstration on Friday as enraged protesters clashed with riot police following the court's ruling to uphold the impeachment motion.
According to the Realmeter poll, 86 percent of people believed the court's ruling was right. Only 12 percent said it was not right, with 2 percent declining to reply.
A whopping 92 percent said people should accept the court's decision. Those against the ruling took up just 6 percent of the total respondents.
