President Yoon Suk Yeol has filled key posts in his administration with those who served under former President Lee Myung-bak, triggering a strong backlash from the opposition party and some civic groups, which argue the move is no more than a return to the past. While the opposition claims this practice highlights the president's refusal to embrace fresh faces and diverse perspectives, some attribute it to a lack of talent in the conservative spectrum in Korea, which was annihilated after the impeachment of Lee's successor, former President Park Geun-hye.
