[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Former President Moon Jae-in, whose term ended at midnight the previous night, will attend President Yoon Suk-yeol's inauguration ceremony on the 10th and then take a train to Yangsan.

Former Blue House Protocol Secretary Tak Hyun-min appeared on TBS's 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory' that morning and stated, "After the inauguration ceremony, he plans to go to Seoul Station and take a train," revealing this plan.

After attending President Yoon's inauguration ceremony at 11 a.m., he is scheduled to arrive at Seoul Station around 12 p.m. and reach Yangsan around 2 to 3 p.m.

Former Secretary Tak explained, "He will move from Ulsan Tongdosa Station to his residence in Yangsan, and probably greet briefly in front of the residence," adding, "This will be the final official greeting."

Regarding President Moon moving from his previous residence in Maegok-dong, Yangsan to the current one, former Secretary Tak said, "I heard that there were quite a few security issues at the back of Maegok-dong," and "Because of many security problems, there was no way to handle it, so they had no choice but to shift direction toward building a new residence."

He firmly stated that, unlike former President Roh Moo-hyun, there will be no scheduled times to meet citizens visiting the residence. Secretary Tak said, "He will not publicly set times or hold programs to meet the general public," adding, "That does not mean he will hide or retire; he will just go to places he wants to go in daily life, eat the food he wants, and naturally meet the people."
