Kim explained that the deposit for a chartered apartment in Geumho-dong, Seoul, where he lives now, was inevitably raised, but there was criticism that he was acting as a ‘naro-nambul’ as the current government policy command tower.



A senior Cheong Wa Dae official said that Kim expressed his appreciation to President Yoo Young-min last night, and said that he would resign directly to President Moon Jae-in this morning.



Mr. Kim, a former professor of economics, took the lead in chaebol reform activities in the Participation Solidarity, and was called the chaebol mortal.
