South Korea's ambassador to Australia steps down amid investigation controversy
Friday, 29 March 2024 South Korea's ambassador to Australia has resigned amid controversies surrounding his appointment during a corruption probe, adding pressure on President Suk Yeol's ruling party ahead of a crucial parliamentary election. Lee Jong-sup, who took up the ambassadorial role just four weeks ago, is facing scrutiny for allegedly trying to influence an investigation into the death of a marine while serving as defense minister.
2024 was marked by major controversies, including South Korea’s President Park Jae-hyun’s impeachment, Vinesh Phogat’s Olympic disqualification, Donald Trump’s hush money conviction, Imane Khelif’s gender identity row, and Joe Biden’s surprise exit from the presidential race. These events shaped global headlines and sparked widespread debate.
