  • 5 years ago
President Moon Jae-in has appointed five new ministers to his Cabinet, despite objections from opposition parties.
They are... as follows...
Kim Yeon-chul... for unification,... ruling party lawmaker Park Young-sun... for SMEs and startups, Chin Young... for interior, Park Yang-woo... for culture... and ( Moon Seong-hyeok... for oceans and fisheries.
There had been two others... but their nominations were scuttled due to suspected ethical lapses.
The opposition parties have been objecting some of Moon's picks over their qualifications... but their appointments do not require parliamentary consent.
