According to a report by Yonhap News Agency on the 20th, the Presidential Palace of South Korea will be moved out of the Blue House and moved to the Ministry of National Defense Building.
A spokesman for South Korean President-elect Yin Xiyue said on the 16th that Yin Xiyue vowed to carry out political reform and has always attached importance to being close to the people. The Blue House has the feeling of a royal palace. After entering, it will lack the opportunity to contact the public and neglect to communicate with the public.

The Blue House in South Korea was built during the reign of Emperor Suzong of Goryeo and was originally the palace of the Goryeo Dynasty. Since South Korea’s previous presidents have not been perfect since the founding of the country, some people in South Korea have always questioned the “feng shui problem” of the Blue House.

The current President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, made a promise to relocate the presidential palace from the Blue House to Gwanghwamun in the 2012 and 2017 presidential elections.
