Government Organization Act Amendment Proposed to Introduce Second Vice Minister System and Independent Correctional Service

A bill to amend the Government Organization Act has been proposed in South Korea's National Assembly, aiming to elevate the head of the Ministry of Justice's Immigration and Foreign Affairs Policy Bureau to a vice-ministerial level and establish an independent Correctional Service. The proposed changes seek to enhance systematic responses to the growing foreign resident population and improve the ministry's operational efficiency.
