The HCIC announced on the 29th that Kim's resignation letter had been accepted.
Kim acted as the head and deputy head of the HCIC for about three months after former HCIC Chief Kim Jin-wook and former Deputy Head Yeo Woon-guk retired consecutively in January.
However, in the appeal trial of a case in which he was accused of leaking investigation records he wrote while working at the prosecution in 2014 to a lawyer friend after retirement, the first trial's not guilty verdict was overturned and he was sentenced to a fine. He immediately expressed his intention to resign at an executive meeting.
