U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Joseph Yun Arrives in South Korea Tomorrow

Joseph Yoon, the former Special Representative for North Korea Policy, who served as the acting U.S. ambassador to South Korea, is expected to arrive in South Korea tomorrow (11th).

Former Representative Joseph Yoon will enter the country tomorrow afternoon after completing internal procedures at the U.S. State Department.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Korea Philip Goldberg retired on the 7th, and former CEO Cho will temporarily play the role of ambassador.

Usually, when an incumbent ambassador resigns, the deputy ambassador of the diplomatic mission performs ambassador agency work, but it seems that the temporary ambassador agency system was chosen in consideration of the flexible political situation in Korea due to martial law and the impeachment case.
