Reference News Network, December 22 report: According to Reuters, December 22 report, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol will move the presidential office back to the traditional presidential residence, Cheong Wa Dae, and will no longer use the office location set up by former President Yoon Suk-yeol in the former Ministry of Defense building.
The office of Yoon Suk-yeol said that the work of moving back to Cheong Wa Dae is expected to be completed around Christmas.
In June this year, Yoon Suk-yeol won the early election. During the campaign, he promised to eventually move the presidential office to Sejong City, south of Seoul, to help boost economic development in areas outside Seoul.
Former President Yoon Suk-yeol was removed from office in April this year after briefly declaring a martial law last December. During his term, he broke decades of tradition by moving the presidential office and the presidential residence out of Cheong Wa Dae.
Soon after taking office in 2022, Yoon Suk-yeol, despite safety concerns, spent about $40 million to move the presidential office to the former Ministry of Defense building, also located in the center of Seoul. (Translated by Liu Ziyan)
