[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] The public will also be able to attend the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol, the 20th President of South Korea.

The Presidential Inauguration Preparation Committee announced on the 8th that they will accept online applications from the general public and special invitees who have contributed to national unity for the inauguration ceremony to be held on the front lawn of the National Assembly on the 10th of next month.

Those who wish to attend the inauguration ceremony can apply by accessing the inauguration preparation committee section on the transition committee’s website from that day until the 14th.

The number of participants from the public will be determined considering the venue capacity, COVID-19 situation, and weather conditions. Attendees will be selected through a lottery. The lottery results can be individually checked on the website starting from the 29th.

The special invitation for contributors to national unity will focus on discovering "hidden giants" who have devoted themselves to society and have inspiring stories for the public. The composition will reflect President-elect Yoon’s commitment to national unity by encompassing various regions, genders, occupations, generations, and political orientations.

The specific selection categories include six groups: citizens leading social integration, proud hidden giants of our era, challenging youth of the 2030 generation, citizens practicing community love, citizens who have brought Korea recognition worldwide, and citizens who have contributed to social development.

Park Ju-seon, Chairman of the Presidential Inauguration Preparation Committee, said, "In selecting special invitees, we will prioritize national unity, which President-elect Yoon has repeatedly emphasized," and added, "We will ensure that the inauguration ceremony becomes a respectful occasion to honor the citizens who have contributed to national unity alongside the President."
