South Korean Presidential Office Officially Moves Back to the Blue House

At around midnight on the 29th local time, the "Phoenix Flag," symbolizing the head of state of South Korea, was raised at the Blue House. This signifies that the relocation of the South Korean Presidential Office has been completed, and after 3 years and 7 months, it has moved back to the Blue House. The name of the South Korean Presidential Office has also reverted to "Blue House."

On the 29th, President Lee Jae-myung went to work at the Blue House for the first time.

Since 1948, the Blue House has served as the official residence and office for successive South Korean presidents. After Yoon Suk-yeol took office as president in May 2022, the presidential office was relocated to the newly established presidential building in Yongsan District, Seoul, at the Ministry of National Defense compound, and the Blue House was opened to the public.

After Lee Jae-myung assumed office as President of South Korea, he announced the return of the presidential office to the Blue House.
