[Asia Economy Reporter Han Yeju] President Yoon Suk-yeol and First Lady Kim Geon-hee visited their residence in Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul on the 17th to bid farewell to their neighbors.

Lee Jae-myung, deputy spokesperson of the Presidential Office, stated in a written briefing that President Yoon and the First Lady visited Acrovista in Seocho-dong that morning, shaking hands and taking photos with the residents. The presidential couple's pet dog, "Sunny," also accompanied them on the visit.

President Yoon said to the neighbors, "It has truly been a happiness that you have been our neighbors all this time. Thanks to you, my wife, our dog, and I have all been happy. I will never forget you for a long time."

He added, "About a month ago, when we moved to the official residence in Hannam-dong, I should have personally thanked everyone, but due to diplomatic schedules and national affairs, my gratitude was delayed. The weather is cold, so please stay healthy, and I will definitely invite the children who always saw me off on my way to work to the residence when the warm spring comes."

The First Lady also handed out cookies to the children.

President Yoon, who has pushed for relocating the presidential office to Yongsan and opening the Blue House to break away from the imperial presidency system, commuted to the office from Acrovista for about six months after his inauguration on May 10 this year, until the remodeling of the new official residence, the Foreign Minister's residence in Hannam-dong, was completed.

Becoming the first "commuting president" since the establishment of the Blue House, President Yoon has been commuting from the Hannam-dong residence since the 8th of last month.
