A candle-lit rally was held in the streets of Seoul on Saturday, demanding that impeached President Park Geun-Hye step down immediately and commemorating 1000 days since the Sewol ferry disaster that left more than 300 dead in 2014. /CFP Photo

South Korea's corruption scandal has brought huge numbers of protesters onto the streets every week demanding Park’s removal. /CFP Photo

Park is also under fire over her response to the 2014 Sewol accident, with protestors asking that she explain her seven-hour absence at the time of the sinking. /CFP Photo

The protesters urged the government to speed up efforts to salvage the ship to determine the exact cause of the disaster. /CFP Photo

Park still has supporters however, and an estimated 30,000 demonstrators staged a counter-protest on Saturday outside the office of a special prosecutor investigating the corruption scandal. /CFP Photo
