South Korean Prime Minister Chung Hong-won resigned on Sunday amid public outrage over the handling of the ferry disaster, which has left 188 dead and 114 missing so far. Chung apologized, offered his resignation and said he takes "all responsibility" for the Sewol's sinking on Sunday, local time. His resignation is mostly symbolic, however, since executive power in South Korea is mostly concentrated in President Park Geun-hye, according to the Associated Press.
