NIS Head Resigns over Leakage

Kim Man-bok, the head of National Intelligence Service, resigns over the leaks of the conversation between him and North Korean official Kim Yang-kun on December 18 last year.

The conversation took place in North Korea a day before the presidential election day and the leakage was done by the agency with the approval of the head to a senior member of a local press in order to explain, off-the-record, the reasons for the head to have gone to the North.
