President Yoon Suk Yeol named Kim Seon-ho, former chief of the Capital Defense Command, as the new vice defense ministry on Thursday.
Kim, a graduate of the Korea Military Academy and retired Lt. Gen., previously served as the director of force planning at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the commander of the Capital Mechanized Infantry Division, the deputy commander of the Korean Army's Planning and Managing Department and the assistant division commander of the 22nd Infantry Division.
Kim's predecessor in the vice-ministerial post, Shin Beom-chul, resigned reportedly to run for a seat in the National Assembly in next year's general election.
