South Korea's President Park Geun-hye is expected to carry out a small-scale Cabinet and presidential office reshuffle Tuesday based on the recommendations of newly-appointed Prime Minister Lee Wan-koo.
The reshuffle is expected to affect two or three ministerial posts, including the top post at the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries which currently remains vacant, according to Korea's (KBS WORLD) website.
The replacement of Presidential Chief of Staff Kim Ki-choon, meanwhile, is likely to take place after the lunar New Year holidays which will end on Sunday.
Among the figures being mentioned to succeed Kim are South Korea’s Ambassador to China Kwon Young-se, Justice Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, National Unification Advisory Council Executive Vice Chairperson Hyun Kyung-dae, head of the Presidential Committee for National Cohesion, Han Kwang-ok and Korea International Trade Association Chairman and CEO Han Duk-soo.
