Shake-Up

The South Korean government is in the midst of a large shake-up; heads of the nation's major agencies -- the Prosecutor General, the National Tax Service (NTS), National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the National Police Agency (NPA) -- are all expected to be renamed as early as this weekend.

The shake-up comes after NTS leader Han Sang-ryule had announced plans to resign. Han has been mired in corruption and bribery allegations, says the Korea Times, including giving an expensive painting to his predecessor -- all accusations Han denies.
