Suspended Financial Supervisory Service Team Leader, Former Blue House Administrator, Suspected of Involvement in Lime Scandal

[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] A Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) team leader, formerly an administrative officer at the Blue House, who is suspected of being involved in the Lime Asset Management scandal, has been removed from his post.

On the 26th, the FSS announced that it judged Kim, a team leader in the Human Resources Development Office, to be unable to perform his duties normally and dismissed him from his position. Consequently, he will continue working as a senior investigator rather than as a team leader.

An FSS official explained, "Since investigations and suspicions related to Lime are ongoing, it was determined that normal duty performance is difficult."

The FSS plans to decide on disciplinary actions against Team Leader Kim based on the results of future investigations.

Team Leader Kim became controversial after it was revealed that Jang, the former head of Daishin Securities Banpo WM Center, which sold a large volume of Lime Asset Management private equity funds, mentioned in a conversation with victims that Kim was protecting the Lime Asset Management scandal. Additionally, Kim is suspected of inquiring about the progress of the Lime Asset Management investigation while on secondment as an administrative officer at the Blue House last year.
