President Yoon Seok-yeol is expected to announce his new Chief of Staff as early as the 14th, just four months after his second term in the presidential office was inaugurated.
According to the presidential office and other sources on the 13th, President Yoon has accepted the resignation of Chief Secretary Lee Kwang-seop and will appoint a successor.
This personnel change is attracting attention as it is the first measure to reflect President Yoon's plan to revamp national politics since the disastrous defeat in the April 10 general election.
The next Chief Secretary will be former Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong, National Integration Committee Chairman Kim Han-gil, and Cha
Lee Jung-seop, former Australian ambassador to South Korea, and other politicians such as Hwang Sang-moo, former lawmaker for the People Power Party, are said to be the likely candidates.

Prior to this, Chief of Staff Lee and other presidential aides, including the Chief Secretary, met on the 11th, the day after the April 10 general election.
In addition, Han Deok-soo, the first head of the current government, who also announced his resignation to President Yoon, and the prime minister are also likely to be replaced.
Rep. Joo Ho-young and Rep. Kwon Yeong-se are being considered as possible candidates for the next prime minister.
Kim Han-gil, chairman of the National Unity Committee, is also being mentioned as a possible candidate for prime minister.
