From Seoul Square to Seoul City Hall, an estimated one million people gathered to protest urging President Park's resignation. The media states one million people but the police force is putting forth a more conservative estimate of 260,000 people.




Many regional citizen unions and organizations from around the country are renting buses to make their way to the capital city. It is already reported that all the charter buses from many cities have been booked, and KTX (Korean railroad system) tickets from major cities to Seoul have been sold out for quite some time.


Because of the massive influx of people, numerous wireless providers added switchboards to increase Wi-Fi data service, however, the mobile phone signals were still affected because of the massive amount of people.
