Ask what Korea is talking about.

Ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) Chairman Kim Min-seok is in a leadership crisis about three months into the position, as factional infighting between his supporters and loyalists to the party's former leader intensifies, the Korea Times reports. Three members of the DPK's Supreme Council boycotted a council meeting Friday in protest of Kim's decision to order an ethics probe into one of the officials over an unspecified matter, the Korea Times reported on November 13. The boycott reflects deepening factional rifts within the party, with the Korea Times noting on November 15 that the infighting has put Kim in a leadership crisis. No further details on the ethics probe or the official involved were provided in the documents.
