This paper will analyze the political meanings of 'Candlelight Demonstration' in 2016, concentrating on the analysis of social-cultural changes after Keun-Hye Park’s government and comparing it to the previous cases of candlelight demonstrations. The Korean democratic system had been so fast changed into a more regressive one since Myoung-Park Lee's government. But the 'Candlelight Demonstration' recurred in 2016 was a crucial phenomenon that could be interpreted as a new form of democratic political participation to resist against the deterioration of Korean democratic system. This study argues that we can understand the 'Candlelight Demonstration in 2016' as a new symbolic sign of Korean democracy, providing some explanations of the processes and social-cultural impacts of the 'Candlelight Demonstration in 2016'.
