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 on 4 April 2025 due to his impeachment by the National Assembly, and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and First Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok resigned on 1 May 2025, the rest of the cabinet continued to govern until the inauguration of Lee Jae-myung on 4 June.
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.[3]
