that we are seeing on social media here in south korea has perhaps not been anticipated by the blue house. president park geun hye was impeached back in march 2017, and then she was tried for corruption and bribery, where she was sentenced to 22 years. but the impeachment saw millions of south koreans coming out onto the streets for several weeks, it was called the candlelight vigils. so, there was a strong feeling that this.. she came to represent the link between big business, big wealthy conglomerates, family run businesses, and the presidential palace. president moonjae in, the current president, ran for office on the basis of rooting out that corruption, so that s one of the reasons why this has come as such a surprise. we are also in the middle of a presidential election here in south korea, and both candidates are being asked about it.
