South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has tapped National Security Adviser Cho Tae-yong as the new Director of the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and former Second Vice Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul as the new Foreign Minister, according to an announcement from the ROK Presidential Office on Tuesday. The appointments fill vacancies created by former NIS Director Kim Kyou-hyun’s recent resignation and Foreign Minister Park Jin’s announcement that he would return to the National Assembly.

These appointments are part of a broader reshuffle in key government positions. Yoon has yet to nominate a candidate to fill the vacant National Security Adviser post,
