This page provides the list of members – incumbent and nominated – of the State Council of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol. Though Yoon was removed from office due to his impeachment by the National Assembly, the rest of his cabinet will continue in office until the 2025 South Korean presidential election elects a new president.
In December 2023, Yoon carried out a major overhaul, replacing about a third of his cabinet members ahead of the legislative election in April 2024.[1]
