Demonstrators hold placards calling for the resignation of President Park Geun-Hye as they mass in in Gwanghwamun square in central Seoul on Saturday. (AFP Photo)SEOUL: Tens of thousands of banner-waving protesters marched through the streets of Seoul on Saturday, demanding that President Park Geun-hye resign, a day after she apologised and accepted full blame for a crippling corruption scandal. "Her speech made me even more angry," said Park Mee-hee, 44, who was marching with her teenage daughter. The crisis has shattered public trust in Park's judgement and leadership, and her approval rating has plunged to just 5% -- a record low for a sitting president. Punching their fists in the air, they chanted "Resign Park Geun-hye" and "You are under siege".
