South Korea’s scandal-hit President Park Geun-Hye said on Tuesday she was willing to resign early and let parliament decide her fate, a move critics said was a bid to delay impending impeachment.

Park has been engulfed in allegations of influence peddling and claims that tens of millions of dollars have changed hands, sparking widespread anger across South Korea and bringing hundreds of thousands of protesters onto the streets demanding her ouster.
