Last week, Yoon named veteran judges, Shin Sook-hee and Eom Sang-phil to seats at the top court.
The National Assembly's special confirmation committee earlier approved their nominations, as parliamentary consent is required by law.
Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, newly appointed last December, also took part in the ceremony.
