'My Name Is Gabriel' losing viewership battle with 'Jinny's Kitchen'
President Yoon Suk Yeol appointed Kim Wan-sup, a former vice finance minister with expertise in budget planning, as the new environment minister Wednesday, his office said.
Kim, known for his expertise in environment-related budget planning while serving in the finance ministry's key positions, was nominated by Yoon early this month to replace Environment Minister Han Wha-jin.
The National Assembly's Environment and Labor Committee adopted a report on his confirmation hearing earlier in the day.
While serving as the head of the finance ministry's budget office, Kim oversaw the Yoon government's first-year budget preparation. He had unsuccessfully run for the National Assembly in a district in Wonju, Gangwon Province, in the April general elections. (Yonhap)
