Kim Ki-pyo, who was appointed as the anti-corruption secretary of the Blue House at the end of March, expressed his resignation after three months.



President Moon Jae-in immediately accepted the resignation, the Blue House said.



It's only been two days since the property was disclosed, and it's actually a super-fast sack.



'In Songjeong-dong, Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, I developed and acquired a 'blind land' that was not connected to a road, and bought a commercial building with a bank loan of 5.4 billion won.'



Until yesterday (26th), Secretary Kim tried to explain the allegations, saying, "It's not speculation," but 'People's sentiment' was stinging.



[Park Soo-hyeon / Chief of Public Communication at the Blue House: (Secretary Kim) expressed the meaning that 'even if the real estate was not acquired for speculative purposes, it should no longer become a burden to the operation of state affairs considering the morality and social responsibility of public officials desired by the people. ] A



high-ranking official at the Blue House said, "If your explanation does not reach a level that is acceptable to the public, it is appropriate to take measures in line with the public's expectations as a personnel authority."




In particular, regarding the background of the quick decision, he added, "It is an expression of a strong will not to procrastinate on real estate issues."



However, the Blue House's personnel verification system was again engulfed in 'insolvency controversy'.



It is pointed out that this problem was not filtered out in advance when the appointment was made at the end of March, when the LH situation was in full swing.



Even within the passport, there was a bitter voice, such as Song Young-gil, the leader of the Democratic Party, commenting that "there is an opinion that the personnel verification was easy."



A high-ranking official at the Blue House said, "We checked the process of land acquisition and financing methods, and decided that it was not for speculative purposes," but said, "I will accept the criticism."
