Park sacks spokesman Yoon
President Park Geun-hye on Thursday dismissed her spokesman Yoon Chang-jung as rumors spread that he engaged in "inappropriate conduct" during the delegation’s stay in Washington. “The decision was made as it was deemed that Yoon showed inappropriate conduct as a high-ranking official and damaged the dignity of the country by being involved in a disgraceful event personally while accompanying President Park in her U.S. visit,” said Lee Nam-ki, senior secretary for public relations at a briefing. The ouster of Yoon tarnished Park’s first overseas trip that was aimed to highlight the new government’s reinforced alliance with Washington and promote wider investment despite the North Korea risk. Yoon joined Park’s team as the spokesman for her transition team after earning himself a name as staunchly right-wing columnist during the presidential election period.
