Top U.S. Official for Coordinating Policy on North Korea Suddenly Resigns from the State Department
I wonder if we will ever hear the back story on this resignation?:
The top U.S. official for North Korea policy resigned last week, multiple sources said Tuesday, adding to uncertainty over Washington’s diplomatic efforts to reengage with a recalcitrant Pyongyang.
Jung Pak left the post as the U.S. senior official for North Korea and a process is under way to select her replacement, according to the sources.
Pak, a scholar-turned-diplomat, took over the post for North Korea policy at the State Department after Sung Kim, a veteran diplomat, retired late last year. She also served as deputy assistant secretary of state for East Asia and Pacific affairs.
In a press briefing later, Matthew Miller, the State Department’s spokesperson, said that Daniel Kritenbrink, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, will oversee North Korea policy for the department. Park left office on Friday, according to the department.

I see they are advertising for the job here on ROK DROP.
I guess there are enough gullible people who click on the spambot links and add their PCs to DDOS botnets.
I hope no one from ROKDROP is that silly.
