Lee's move to Cheong Wa Dae residence planned for this year

President Lee Jae Myung's relocation to the official presidential residence at Cheong Wa Dae is set to occur this year, according to a statement from a presidential official. Currently, Lee and his first lady, Kim Hea Kyung, are residing in the former residence of former President Yoon Suk Yeol in Seoul's Yongsan Ward while renovations are being carried out at Cheong Wa Dae.

Following Lee's inauguration last year, he opted to return both the presidential office and residence to their original location at Cheong Wa Dae, with the presidential office itself moving there in December. The official mentioned that preparations for the move are underway, including building commissioning and moving preparations, but no specific timeline has been announced for the relocation.
