Thousands of South Koreans take part in a candle-light demonstration demanding an apology from South Korean President Park Geun-Hye to take responsibility for a spy agency scandal, reform of the national spy agency and organize a special prosecution team to investigate the scandal, in central Seoul August 23, 2013. Local media reported that the National Intelligence Service (NIS) conducted an online smear campaign to sway public opinion in favor of then ruling Saenuri party candidate Park before last December's presidential election. The spy agency's former chief Won Sei-hoon was indicted on June 14, 2013 in violation of election law, according to media reports. The signs read,"Park Geun-Hye take responsibility!" (C), "Examine truth with special prosecutor team!" (in blue) and "Park Geun-Hye who was elected illegally, resign!" (bottom L in red).
