Republic of Demonstrations

"Does South Korea protest too much?" That's the question posed by David Volodzko in the Wall Street Journal in response to the recent anti-president Park Geun Hye protests which have brought out 2.3 million protestors calling for her resignation. In South Korea where protesting in the streets is commonly seen as the only way to have your voice heard, it's not unusual to see a mass of police and protestors, each performing their roles in Seoul's busy streets. From Christians protesting the gay pride parades to anti-government protestors calling for the resignation of the country's president, the streets are always alive in the so-called "Republic of Demonstrations."
