| A banner announcing the elevation of the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs from sub-ministry status to a full-fledged ministry is displayed on the outside of the ministry's headquarters in Sejong Government Complex, Sunday. This change, effective from Monday, aligns with President Yoon Suk Yeol's campaign promise, officially promoting the ministry to a full-scale level, and current head of the ministry Park Min-shik has been reappointed to continue his leadership role in the now upgraded ministry.
