This is the lowest I can remember any Korean President’s approval rating going:
A citizen holds a picket that says “Park Geun-hye Out” in front of barricades made of police buses in central Seoul on Nov. 12, 2016, during a massive rally to demand the president’s resignation over the latest influence-peddling scandal involving her confidante. (Yonhap)
Investigators have been declining to comment on possible investigation into Park, and they have not suggested that she profitted from the scandal either.
Despite suspicions by many in the country that Park profitted from the scandal, no president since Roh Tae-woo, who left office in 1993, has ever been implicated in using the office to amass personal wealth, although relatives and close associates have done so, with many going to jail for their misdeeds.
Park’s approval rating remained at a record-low 5 percent this week, according to local pollster Gallup Korea. [Yonhap]
