The protest began at Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul. They marched along Eunji and Thuekye streets, holding signs calling for Park Geun-hye's arrest and her responsibility for the Sewol ferry disaster. Others marched toward the Prime Minister's Office and called for the resignation of Acting President and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn.

Meanwhile, supporters of Park Geun-hye also held a march near the Tukshu Palace area to protest her arrest.

Also participating in this march were MPs Kim Jin-Thae and Jo Won-jin, presidential candidates of the Liberty Korea Party.

Police have deployed 12,300 security personnel near protest sites. Several pro-Park rallies have turned into street riots as protesters attacked both police and reporters.

This protest took place just a week after the South Korean Prosecutors conducted a direct interrogation of former President Park Geun-hye.

The Korean public is interested in whether the country's prosecutors will decide to arrest or not Ms. Park Geun-hye./.
