| [Iran Press] South Korea's foreign minister has offered his resignation to President Lee Myung-bak over his ministry's controversial hiring of his daughter. Yu Myung-Hwan was accused of nepotism over his ministry's controversial hiring of his 35-year-old daughter for a well-paid job. Yu said he was "sorry to have caused trouble to the public," the ministry's spokesman Kim Young-sun told reporters. The minister takes "responsibility for causing controversy over the issue," Kim added. President Lee is expected to accept his resignation, Yonhap news agency said. The Foreign Ministry provoked controversy this week after it selected Yu's daughter for a mid-level post among six other applicants. |
