Former President Yoon Seok-yeol will leave the Hannam-dong residence and move to his private home at 5 p.m. on the 11th. This departure comes seven days after the Constitutional Court's dismissal ruling.

A representative from former President Yoon's side stated, "Former President Yoon will leave the residence and move to his private home at 5 p.m. tomorrow," adding, "Senior aides from the Presidential Office will visit the residence."

The representative also said, "It has not been decided whether former President Yoon will issue a separate message or greet people after getting out of the vehicle."

Under the 'Act on the Protection of the President, etc.,' former President Yoon can receive protection from the Presidential Security Service for up to 10 years. It is reported that the Presidential Security Service has formed a security team of about 40 members to guard the private home.

Some of the moving belongings have already been transferred to the Seocho-dong private home, and repairs and maintenance on the residence have been completed.

Previously, after his inauguration in May 2022, former President Yoon commuted to and from the Seocho-dong private home for about six months while receiving protection from the Presidential Security Service until the Hannam-dong residence was refurbished.

However, since the private home is in a mixed-use residential complex, which may cause inconvenience to neighbors, and because the former president and his wife have 11 pets, it is known that they are considering moving to the Seocho-dong private home first and then finding a residence in the metropolitan area.
