SEOUL -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in reshuffled his Cabinet on Friday after his approval rating dropped to record lows over housing policy and an internal feud in the Justice Ministry.

Moon switched his land, health, interior and gender equality ministers. They will be inaugurated after confirmation hearings at the National Assembly.
