Ask what Korea is talking about.

Ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) Chairman Kim Min-seok is facing 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. Separately, a police complaint was filed Thursday accusing ruling party Rep. Choi Min-hee of defamation for referring to journalists as "a pack of hyenas." President Lee Jae Myung called for unity between the government and the ruling party at a dinner meeting with Kim and floor leader Han Byung-do on Wednesday, his office said.
