(Newsis) Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol abruptly canceled his trip to attend a meeting of Group of 20 finance ministers and central bank governors in the United States, fueling speculation over his position amid reports of an impending Cabinet reshuffle.Koo arrived at Incheon International Airport on Sunday morning to travel to Asheville, North Carolina, for the G20 gathering but turned back without boarding his flight, according to government sources.His scheduled bilateral meetings with senior officials, including US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, were also canceled.The decision was reportedly unrelated to circumstances involving the Finance Ministry or the G20 meeting.The unusual cancellation — made after Koo had arrived at the airport for a major international gathering — prompted speculation that it could be linked to his future in the Cabinet.The presidential office is working on a second round of Cabinet appointments after accepting Justice Minister Jung Sung-ho’s resignation.
