Justice Minister Kim Hyun-woong and a senior presidential adviser offered to resign last week after prosecutors directly linked President Park Geun-hye to alleged misdeeds by her jailed confidante at the center of the scandal. Park's office said Monday, November 28 she's accepted Kim's resignation but withheld the one by her adviser.
