SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A news report says South Korean Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan has offered to resign over his ministry’s controversial hiring of his daughter.
Yonhap news agency reported Saturday that Yu made his offer to President Lee Myung-bak through presidential chief of staff after he was accused of nepotism when his daughter was handed a midlevel post handling free trade affairs in his ministry.
The foreign ministry spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
