Yoon’s decision not to appoint new minister likely a nod to campaign pledge to abolish ministry and young male voters
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol reportedly accepted the resignation of Kim Hyun-sook, the Minister of Gender Equality and Family, on Feb. 20th. This move comes after Kim had previously offered to resign in September last year, taking responsibility for mishandling the World Scout Jamboree event in Saemangeum.
Following the acceptance of Kim’s resignation, Yoon has decided to forego appointing a successor for the position. Instead, vice minister Shin Young-sook will take over Kim’s duties in an acting capacity.
