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.
