South Korean prosecutors said on Sunday they believe Park was an accomplice in an influence-peddling scandal that has rocked her administration. An impeachment motion requires at least half of the parliament to start and needs a two-thirds majority to pass. If an impeachment motion passes parliament, it is reviewed by the Constitutional Court, which has to confirm it with at least six of its nine judges. Political analysts say an impeachment motion against Park has a good chance of passing. "Impeachment proceedings need perfect preparations as much is possible," Choo Mi-ae, head of the Democratic Party told a party meeting, adding the best scenario was for Park to step down.
