Park has twice publicly apologized for the controversy, but that hasn't satisfied many South Koreans, who continue to fill the city's streets calling for her to step down.

The latest stunning image of the protests emerged on Saturday as a Reuters reporter shared the view (above) from his office on Saturday. The sheer scale of the protest is shocking considering how long the protests have carried on.

Some estimates have claimed that anywhere from 260,000 to up to a million people have taken part in previous protests against Park in recent weeks.

Looking at these latest images and video, those numbers don't appear to be an exaggeration, and Park may have to do more than apologize a third time to bring this political scandal to an end.
