South Korea’s President is replacing seven Cabinet members in an apparent bid to win back sagging public trust in her administration after April’s ferry disaster.
President Park Geun-hye has come under harsh criticism for the government’s handling of the sinking of the Sewol, which left 304 people dead or missing.
Presidential spokesman Min Kyung-wook said the Cabinet posts at the Finance Ministry and Security and Public Administration Ministry were among the personnel changes announced on Friday.
Ms. Park had already nominated a new prime minister and replaced her Defence Minister and Intelligence chief.
