South Korea´s Prime Minister Chung Hong-Won tendered his resignation Sunday over the sinking of a passenger ferry that left more than 300 people dead or missing.
“I offer my apology for having been unable to prevent this accident from happening and unable to properly respond to it afterwards,” he said.
“I believed I, as the prime minister, certainly have to take responsibility and resign.” The ex. pm also went on to say that he would have resigned earlier but was overseeing relief efforts.
