South Korea Election Protests Continue

Protests demanding a re-run of last week's local elections in South Korea, marred by ballot shortages, continued for the ninth day Saturday morning.

Although the number of participants decreased sharply compared with the previous night, approximately 700 protesters chanted slogans and waved national flags around SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium in Seoul's southern district of Jamsil.

This ongoing unrest has caused significant embarrassment for the election watchdog.

The incident continues to spark student-led demonstrations across the nation.
