Yoon approves ex-newspaper journalist's appointment as new KBS president

SEOUL, Nov. 12 (Yonhap) -- President Yoon Suk Yeol on Sunday approved the proposed appointment of a former newspaper journalist as chief of South Korea's largest public broadcaster KBS, his office said.

The broadcaster picked Park Min, a former editorial writer at the Munhwa Ilbo daily, as its new chief during a board of directors meeting last month.

A graduate of Seoul National University, Park started his journalist career at the newspaper in 1991, and served as political desk editor, editor-in-chief and editorial writer.
