After leaving the Blue House (the presidential residence), Park Geun-hye issued a statement saying she believes the truth will eventually be revealed, a comment seen as a protest against the Court's ruling.

Major newspapers all published on their front pages photos of ousted female president Park Geun-hye leaving the Presidential Palace for her private home in Gangnam district.

South Korea's leading daily Chosun Ilbo commented that the country's future can only change if Park Geun-hye declares her acceptance of the Court's ruling.

JoongAng Ilbo newspaper questioned whether Park Geun-hye was trying to divide the country.

Opposition parties also said that Park Geun-hye should quickly declare her acceptance of the Constitutional Court's ruling to ease social tensions. Her supporters are now planning to continue their protests.

In a related development, South Korean media reported that prosecutors may question Park Geun-hye for the first time this weekend to determine whether she received bribes from major economic groups./.
