For Park Geun-Hye's government, the collapse has already begun

Candlelight protests calling for the resignation of South Korean Park Geun-hye captivated the country on Saturday and Sunday night. The voices of angry citizens filled plazas in major cities around the countries - not only Gwanghwamun in Seoul but also Busan Station in Busan, Taehwagang Station in Ulsan, Save Zone in Jeonju and Haengbok Street in Uijeongbu. In Jeonju, the drivers of city buses honked their horns to take part in the protests.

Watching these demonstrations felt like witnessing a reoccurrence of the democratization movement that swept the entire country in 1987 and brought down the dictatorship. In the sense that the protestors spanned a wide spectrum of people - men and women, young and old, parents and children - there are similarities to the candlelight vigils held to protest imports of American beef at the beginning of the Lee Myung-bak presidency in 2008.
