The ruling party's special committee on the Seoul metropolitan area said, "The president's office needs to reform."

Amid the growing controversy over Myung Tae-kyun's Kakao Talk conversation with First Lady Kim Gun-hee, the Special Committee on the Vision of the People's Power of the Seoul metropolitan area called for a personnel reshuffle in the presidential office.

Chairman Oh Shin-hwan said at a meeting of the special committee that public disappointment and concerns are increasing very much in the party and the government, which are swayed by the self-described public opinion expert's exposure.

The presidential office is very late to create a second annex soon, and I hope the promise will be kept quickly, he said. He also recommended a special inspector and said he hoped to take the appointment process as soon as possible.
