[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol explained today regarding the residence where he will stay after his inauguration in May, "It is true that various locations are being reviewed."

In a briefing held at the People Power Party headquarters, spokesperson Kim Eun-hye responded to a question about whether the residence would be located at the Blue House or in a separate space, stating, "The president-elect strongly intends to reform the Blue House by using the Government Complex as the residence."

However, she explained that discussions about the residence are still secondary to those about the office. Spokesperson Kim said, "Since the Government Complex's Blue House reform, that is, the office, needs to be prepared first, the residence discussions are not progressing very quickly. We will strive to finalize one location promptly. This should be completed within two months," she added.

Regarding the attention focused on President-elect Yoon's office and residence, she mentioned, "Perhaps there has rarely been a time when a president-elect's residence has received such attention and media coverage."
