Rep. Kim Byung-kee, floor leader of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, resigned on December 30 amid allegations of misconduct and abuse of power. He apologized for using free accommodation from Korean Air and family-related improprieties during a party meeting at the National Assembly. The resignation, coming 200 days after he assumed the role, aims to spare the party and President Lee Jae-myung's administration further burden.
The Metropolitan Police Department dismissed a 52-year-old sergeant for privately photographing naked dead bodies of women. The officer, stationed at Ayase police station in Tokyo, kept about 500 images at his home from 2009 to 2022.

The Judicial Conduct Tribunal has ruled that Eastern Cape Judge President Selby Mbenenge is not guilty of gross misconduct but is guilty of serious misconduct under Category B. This finding means he avoids impeachment but faces potential sanctions from the Judicial Service Commission. The commission will now review submissions before deciding on guilt and penalties.
