French media's coverage: Park Geun Hye's impeachment in 2017.

  At the time of Park Geun Hye's impeachment, the French media reported extensively on the political crisis in South Korea, with major news outlets such as Le Monde, AFP, and France 24 providing regular updates.    

  According to a search on the media monitoring platform Factiva, there were over 300 articles in French media related to Park's impeachment between October 2016 and March 2017. Following the impeachment of Park Geun Hye, the first female president of South Korea, in 2017, the French media extensively covered the issue. Many newspapers and media outlets in France, including Le Monde, Libération, and France 24, reported on the events leading up to Park's impeachment and the subsequent fallout. The coverage varied from news reports to opinion pieces and analyses.

  Le Monde, one of the most prominent French newspapers, published a number of articles on the impeachment process, including an op-ed by former South Korean foreign minister Han Sung-joo, who argued that the impeachment was a necessary step to restore democracy in the country. One article, published on December 9, 2016, summarized the situation in South Korea as a "political earthquake." The article discussed the massive protests that had been taking place in Seoul, calling for Park's resignation, and the subsequent decision by the National Assembly to impeach her.

  AFP also covered the impeachment extensively, with multiple articles discussing the political fallout and the potential impact on the region. One representative article, titled "South Korea's political crisis deepens as president faces impeachment," outlined the key events leading up to the impeachment and provided analysis on the political situation in the country.

   The articles also provided background information on the scandal that led to Park's impeachment, including her close relationship with a controversial figure named Choi Soon-sil, who was accused of using her connection to the president to pressure businesses to donate millions of dollars to her foundations.

  Overall, the French media expressed shock and concern over the impeachment of Park Geun Hye, with many noting the significance of the first female president of South Korea being ousted from office. They also closely followed the subsequent developments in the country, such as the presidential election that took place in May 2017.
