President of Republic of Korea has accepted the resignation of her prime minister because of a bribery scandal, AP reported. Prime Minster Lee Wan Koo offered to quit last week, two months after taking the country's No. 2 post. He was at the heart of a corruption scandal involving a dead businessman and other high-profile figures. Businessman Sung Wan-jong said before committing suicide this month that he gave 30 million won ($27,390) to Lee in 2013. Lee has denied the allegation. President Park Geun-hye's office said Monday she accepted Lee's resignation but gave no further details.
