The candlelight vigil whose number of participants jumped to 300,000 and then to over 1.1 million from its initial 50,000 has now covered Seoul, Pusan, Kwangju, Taegu and other parts of south Korea.

Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Sunday terms it an eruption of wrath and grudge of the public against traitor Park Geun Hye who turned south Korea into a veritable hell.

It is also a stern punishment meted out to the Park group for having been hell-bent on division and confrontation against the nation's desire for reunification, and an explosion of the pent-up wrath of the people against the traitor who did away with the dignity and interests of the nation through pro-U.S. and pro-Japanese sycophantic treachery, the commentary notes, and goes on:

Park and her group have to face punishment of their own accord for the thrice-cursed crimes they committed.

But Park is categorically standing against the public demand with such rhetoric about "impossible earlier resignation", "impossible secondary retreat" and "unallowable vacuum of administration".

This is an intolerable mockery of the public and the last ditch efforts aimed to keep challenging the tremendous might of the public.

Traitor Park's desperate challenge to the people's mindset will touch off bigger wrath and nationwide resistance, the commentary notes, stressing politics going against the people's mindset is bound to be buried at sea and face a miserable end.
