Minister Lee Seung-min said in a radio interview on this day, "The Yongsan Park is currently divided into several sections, and there are some sections where housing is being supplied, such as the Yongsan International Business District. He said, "We are reviewing the development of the entire area, including the Children's Garden, which was created as a condition for the relocation of the defense ministry." Regarding the possibility of a decrease in the number of trees, he said, "The Ministry of National Defense is relocating, and we are reviewing it in consideration of the fact that there are about 300,000 trees in Yongsan."
