President Yoon appoints Shin Won-sik as Defense Minister and Yoo In-chon as Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism
President Yoon Suk-yeol appointed Shin Won-sik as Minister of National Defense and Yoo In-chon as Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism on the weekend of the 7th.
The Presidential Office announced through a press release that President Yoon approved the appointments of the two on that day.
Minister Shin is the 18th ministerial-level official appointed without bipartisan agreement under the current administration. Earlier, on the 5th, President Yoon requested the National Assembly to resend the personnel hearing report on Minister Shin, but as the ruling and opposition parties failed to agree on adopting the report within the two-day deadline, the appointment procedure was carried out.
