First it is important to note that President Park Geun-Hye is daughter of Park Chung Hee. Park Chung Hee was also president but he ran Korea as a military dictatorship for 17 years in the 60s and 70s until he was assassinated by his own head of security.
People are angry with President Park Geun-Hye for a variety of reasons.
-Starting in 2017, the government will only allow middle and high schools to use a single government written history textbook. People are worried that her father's history will be white washed and paint that the militarist dictatorship was fine. That it was ok to take away democratic rights.
-People are angry that policies are being pushed by the president where it makes it easier to fire people and take away worker's rights. Also, policies that only benefit the rich.
-Graduated college students have a high unemployment rate. About 410,000 youth in their 20s are currently unemployed. (total population of South Korea stands at about 50 million).
-Farmers are angry about the falling price of rice.
-People are also angry that she leaves the country every time there is a protest. She lacks action when it comes to national events such as a Sewol Ferry disaster.
tl;dr: People angry at the President about jobs, education, and her ability to be president.

Sounds like typical leftist complaints. If the central government wasn't involved in public schools the first complaint would be a non-issue.
"Policies that benefit the rich" would have to be expounded.
If graduated college students looked at market demand for what they'd gone to school for maybe they wouldn't have their issues.
Food gets cheaper. You can produce way more food for way less money, so it shouldn't surprise you that when you run surpluses your product isn't worth as much.

apparently there are many youths unemployed because they only want to work at the big companies like samsung. all the small/medium sized business have a lack of people. big companies pay more and have more prestige etc.
there are stories of people waiting years after uni just to get into a big company while their parents continue to support them financially.

Collectivism in Asia is absurd. Everything is about images - there's no substance or reason to the infantile pressures and expectations they put on themselves and others.
