The presidential office Cheong Wa Dae expressed condolences Saturday over the death of former Prime Minister Kim Jong-pil, saying the legacy he left in South Korean politics will remain for a long time.
Kim, who served as prime minister twice and as a lawmaker nine terms, died earlier in the day at the age of 92.
“The hand stains and footprints that the deceased left in the modern history of South Korean politics won’t be removed easily,”
