Senior Presidential Secretary for Civil Affairs Oh Kwang-soo has reportedly offered to resign amid allegations that he managed real estate and received a loan under other people’s names. 

Oh reportedly expressed his intention to step down to President Lee Jae-myung recently. 

If Lee accepts Oh’s resignation, he will be the first high-ranking official to step down since the launch of the Lee administration. 

Oh came under criticism for allegedly managing his wife’s real estate holdings under a false name during his time as a prosecutor from 2012 to 2015, and for failing to disclose it in the property declaration required of senior officials.

He is also accused of taking out a loan under an acquaintance’s name in 2007 while serving as a senior prosecutor.
