The Korea Times reports that the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Gender Equality are set to be among the first government bodies to relocate to Sejong in 2027, as part of a phased relocation plan that will begin in the first half of the year. The government has announced that institutions requiring separate headquarters, such as the Prosecution Service and Serious Crimes Investigation Agency and the National Police Agency, will follow suit once new office buildings are constructed in their designated relocation areas.
These moves, led by Prime Minister Han Sung-sook, Minister of the Interior and Safety Yun Ho-jung, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Kim Yun-duk, and Second Vice Minister of Economy and Finance Hur Jang, will mark the second major round of such relocations, following the first completed in the 2000s.
