Seoul: South Korean President-elect Yoon Sok-yul has decided to leave the Bluehouse in Seoul and open a new office in Seoul. The explanation is that the traditional president is leaving the building for better public relations. This was the main campaign promise of the Union in the elections.
The new office will be located in the Ministry of Defense compound in central Seoul. People will be given the opportunity to suggest its name. Eun said the Blue House will be open to the public. The new president will take office on May 10.
Critics say the union’s announcement could lead to more security and additional costs to the country. But officials say the bluehouse in the mountains has alienated state leaders from the public.
