President Yoon Suk Yeol has promised to consider a personnel reshuffle within the presidential office to address concerns over individuals allegedly exerting undue influence on state affairs, his office said Tuesday. Yoon made the remark during a meeting with the ruling People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon, who raised concerns about first lady Kim Keon Hee's public activities and urged a personnel shake-up to assuage controversies surrounding her, on Monday. "If you provide specific information on who is causing problems and how, I will review the details and determine whether to take action," Yoon was quoted as saying by a senior presidential official Tuesday. During the meeting, accompanied by the presidential chief of staff Chung Jin-suk, Han also recommended the appointment of a special inspector to look into allegations involving the first lady. Regarding the request for the first lady to reduce her public engagements, Yoon explained that Kim is already scaling back her activities as she is "very e xhausted and struggling." "She is already refraining from external activities. Unless it's absolutely necessary, she won't engage in many external activities," Yoon was quoted as saying. On the issue of cooperating with investigations into the allegations involving the first lady, Yoon indicated that the ongoing prosecution investigation should be awaited before drawing conclusions, according to the official.
