Lots of controversy surrounding this woman and I've just recently heard a little about her from the Koreans I work with. Today they vote to impeach her.

She was said to have heard the weekly protests calling for her to leave office. Those protests have grown from 20,000 people in central Seoul six weeks ago to about 1.7 million on Saturday, who came within a few hundred feet of her compound, shouting, “Evict her!”

South Korea's first female leader was given the boot last night by being their first democratically elected president to be ousted by impeachment.

SEOUL, South Korea — The head of South Korea's Samsung Group, Jay Y. Lee, denies all charges against him, his lawyer said Thursday at the start of what the special prosecutor said could be the "trial of the century" amid a political scandal that has rocked the country.

Lee has been charged with bribery, embezzlement, and other offenses in a corruption scandal that has already led to the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye.
