It has been six weeks since Korean citizens began to gather on weekends to protest against President Park Geun Hye's corruption scandal and to demand that she step down. 



Just last week's protest gathered more than 2 million people in Seoul

There was no rivalry or hard feelings among fans since they were all fighting for the same cause: to make a better Korea. 










One fan held a banner that read, "Make this society better so I can go back to stanning my idol." 


One fan stick that was particularly effective and bright were the SHINee sticks. They are seriously so bright: 



They're so bright that it could be seen from a long distance on TV broadcasts...
