|You would think they would have vetted this guy for property speculation before giving him the job:
The presidential secretary for anti-corruption, Kim Gi-pyo, has offered to resign, the presidential office said Sunday, following allegations of real estate speculation involving multimillion dollar loans.
President Moon Jae-in also immediately accepted his resignation, according to Park Soo-hyun, Cheong Wa Dae’s senior secretary for public communication.
“Presidential secretary Kim Gi-pyo has expressed his views that, although he did not acquire the real estate for purposes of speculation, he should no longer be a burden to the state affairs given the public’s expectations of a public servant’s ethical and social responsibilities,” Park said at a briefing.
