Tens of thousands of government supporters gather in Seoul for the fourth straight Saturday to show their support for President Moon Jae-in's justice minister, who is enmeshed in an explosive political scandal that has polarized the nation.
A pro-government supporter holds a sign before a rally supporting Justice Minister Cho Kuk in front of Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office in Seoul, South Korea, Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019. The letters read "Reform the Prosecution".
Huge crowds calling for Cho’s ouster have marched near Seoul’s presidential office in recent weeks, demonstrating how the months-long saga has deepened the country’s political divide. The protests came as prosecutors continued to push further a criminal investigation on Cho’s university professor wife, brother and other relatives over allegations of dubious financial investments and fraud and creating fake credentials for his daughter that may have helped her enter a top university in Seoul and a medical school in Busan.
