Hundreds of protesters rallied in front of the National Assembly in Seoul, Thursday, to demand the resignation of South Korean President Park Geun-hye.
An anonymous impeachment vote against President Park is due to take place in the National Assembly on Friday. The motion will require the approval of two-thirds of the 300-seat house. All opposition MPs must vote for impeachment, and be joined by at least 28 members from Park's Saenuri Party if the motion is to pass.
The impeachment vote comes as Park faces accusations of conspiring to extort tens of millions of dollars from South Korean businesses along with old friend Choi Soon-sil. Park is accused of granting her friend undue influence over her presidential decisions, which allegedly allowed Choi to solicit business donations for her own non-profit fund. Choi was arrested over the allegations on November 3.
