South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol accepted the resignation of the head of the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and his two deputies. While the president’s office did not specify the reasons for the resignations, local media reported issues during previous personnel reshuffles at the NIS. Kim Kyou-hyun, a seasoned diplomat, had overseen the NIS since President Yoon took office in May 2022. The president appointed two senior NIS officials to immediately take over the deputy positions, and the nomination for the next director is pending parliamentary confirmation. The resignations come amid a broader shakeup in the intelligence agency.
