The Presidential Office announced that Kim Yong-beom, Chief Policy Officer, has offered his resignation.

Kang Yu-jung, senior presidential spokesperson, stated in a briefing today (Sept. 1) that "Chief Kim offered his resignation yesterday (Aug. 31), and President Lee Jae-myung accepted it today."

Chief Kim, who has led the presidential policy command center, had recently faced mounting pressure from the opposition parties to resign over issues including a drop in stock prices linked to the introduction of "leveraged ETFs."
