I'll be honest and admit I really do not follow Korean politics outside of its relationship with North Korea. Prior to this incident, I could not even tell you South Korea's president's name. I knew it was a woman and that her last name was Park, but that was it. However, this story was so big that I had to read up on it and find out why so many people were so upset. If you want the full story I suggest you go here to read it, but basically the president has been brain-washed and manipulated by some crazy lady who was her "spiritual advisory". It started with this lady's father when he claimed that he could communicate with Park's assassinated mother. It is some real Rasputin level of manipulation here! Anyways, President Park had been sending this crazy lady lots of important documents to get advice on speeches and policies despite this lady having no political experience or title at all. Park is a puppet and did whatever this lady says for reasons nobody seems to understand. I mean just imagine that North and South Korean relations and policies were being influenced by a lunatic and you can imagine the South Korean's anger.
This anger is building as just this last weekend hundreds of thousands of Koreans gathered at City Hall to demand that Park Geun-Hye step down as president. Instead, she is firing almost everybody in her administration including the Prime Minister. This is delusion beyond words to think that firing people who had nothing to do with the scandal is an appropriate response to the citizens' anger at her ineptitude and clearly unstable mental state.
In closing, America, no need to panic due to the upcoming election. If Korea has survived this long under this level of corruption, how much damage could Trump or Hilary do?
