Park left the mansion known as the Blue House, and is headed to her private home in southern Seoul, according to her spokesman Kim Dong-jo. North Korea praised her removal, describing it as a “destructive end” for the nation’s first female head of state. In a statement on state media Saturday, a North Korean official described Park as an “incomprehensible and outrageous lunatic.”

“It is the consensus evaluation of the nation that the destructive end of Park Geun-hye is the historical victory of the justice of the people,” the unnamed spokesman for North Korea’s National Reconciliation Council said in a statement on KCNA, North Korea’s official state news agency.
