Choi Kil-su, the newly appointed presidential special inspector, pledged on Monday to uphold political neutrality and professional independence as he began his duties inspecting irregularities involving the president's spouse and close aides. Yonhap reports Choi made the remarks to reporters on Oct. 26, following his appointment by President Lee Jae-myung after a 10-year vacancy in the post. KBS World notes Choi also committed to autonomy in carrying out his work, while the Korea Times quotes him vowing to maintain these principles throughout his tenure.
