The leader of Korea's ruling party arrived back in the country this morning after a ten-day trip to the United States.
The political tasks facing Kim Moo-sung,... however,... haven't really changed that much since he left.
The rival parties are still at odds over a number of issues.
These include the ongoing surveillance scandal surrounding the spy agency, labor market reforms and proposals to re-draw electoral districts.
Kim has already voiced his opposition to the latter, which would increase the number of seats in the National Assembly.
Regarding the spy agency allegations,.. the ruling party is accusing the main opposition of hindering the nation's intelligence activities.
The main opposition party has been hammering the spy agency for failing to submit materials related to allegations it spied on citizens.
