Exclusive: Senior Police Officer Dubbed 'Geoje King' Submits Resignation Through Wife Amid Corruption Probe

It has been confirmed that Senior Superintendent A of the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency, who is currently under internal inspection over allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse of personnel authority in the Gyeongnam region under the moniker "Geoje King," has submitted his resignation following SBS's reports.

According to SBS coverage, Senior Superintendent A reportedly submitted his resignation over the weekend through his wife to his parent organization, the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency, along with a message expressing that he is "sorry."

The Korean National Police Agency maintains its stance that, given the high-intensity inspection currently underway, the resignation cannot be accepted until the inspection results and the level of disciplinary action are determined.

The National Police Agency has been intensively investigating Senior Superintendent A's allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse of personnel authority since early this month. It is also known to be looking into the screening promotion and special promotion candidate selection processes conducted at the Geoje Police Station in Gyeongnam over the past few years.
