Korean protests often arise from social, political, and economic issues in South Korea. Citizens gather to express their opinions on matters such as government policies, labor rights, and environmental concerns. These demonstrations can vary in size and intensity, reflecting the public's engagement with current events. One notable example is the 2016-2017 candlelight protests against former President Park Geun-hye, which called for her resignation due to a corruption scandal. These protests highlighted the power of civic engagement in South Korea and led to significant political changes, including the election of a new president in 2017.
