The 57-year-old is a long-time senior communications official at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and has been working as a public servant since 1987.
“We believe that (Yu) is very capable of handling our pending issues such as preparations for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, as well as strengthening the competitiveness of the tourism service sector,” said presidential spokesman Jung Youn-kuk in announcing the appointment on Thursday.
