● Resignation of Policy Chief Kim Yong-beom

Sung Han-yong / Senior Editorial Writer, The Hankyoreh

"It seems there was considerable internal discussion within the Blue House beforehand regarding Kim Yong-beom remaining in office."

"It appears President Lee could not make up his mind about replacing Kim Yong-beom until the very end."

"Additional reshuffles in the Blue House and the Cabinet are likely expected... we will need to watch closely."

Huh Min / Senior Reporter, Munhwa Ilbo

"It appears that neither President Lee nor Kim Yong-beom himself wanted a resignation until the end."

"Tension between the ruling party and the Blue House seems to have had a decisive impact on the resignation decision."

"The Blue House's explanation regarding Kim Yong-beom's resignation is likely to sound unconvincing."
