The organizations under the South Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration held a press conference in Kwanghwamun on Nov. 9.

They said that Park Geun Hye leaked secret information about security and diplomacy to a civilian and got advice from her, adding that this was the most serious case in the world history and unbearable international shame.

Next day, 205 personages of different social standings of south Korea held a press conference demanding Park Geun Hye step down and made public a declaration on the situation.

The declaration demanded the authorities retract the action to shut down the Kaesong Industrial Zone, the decision on THAAD deployment and the decision to indefinitely extend the transfer of OPECON and scrap the "agreement" on the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army.

On the same day, the emergency measure committee of the Kaesong Industrial Zone held a meeting at Youido and made public an appeal calling for probe into the truth behind the action to shut down the zone and start the negotiations for restarting the zone.
