Rep. Yoon Han-hong, a member of the People's Strength, who was the head of the task force before the Blue House on the Presidential Transition Committee, said, "Even if the building is locked (from 00:00 on May 10), the Blue House grounds can be opened 100%."



Rep. Yoon appeared on CBS Radio today and said, "Isn't the current government supposed to work until 12:00 pm on May 9th. Then you can think that the Blue House is all empty from 0:00 on May 10th."



This confirmed once again President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's announcement that the Blue House would be opened to the public from May 10, the day of his inauguration, and the relocation of the presidential office to the Ministry of National Defense in Yongsan, Seoul.




Rep. Yoon said, "It will not take that much time to decorate it as a special park, but it is important to show the current state to the public first."



When the host said, 'The Democratic Party also said that the relocation cost is over 1 trillion won,' he replied, "Doesn't the Democrats like 1 trillion won?



Rep. Yoon said, "If I say 1 trillion won, I immediately think of Daejang-dong." "They say that a previous project that cost less than 50 billion won would cost 1 trillion won, but it reminds me of mad cow disease (the protests), and I don't know why (the Democratic Party) is doing this." I did.



To the host's question, 'Do you mean that you feel inflated or instigated?', he answered, "Yes. Why is it 1 trillion won? It's a business that doesn't cost 50 billion won."



It was defined as 'incitement', which inflated the Democratic Party's offensive on costs, compared to the mad cow disease outbreak, in which candlelight vigils expressing opposition to the resumption of US beef import negotiations in May 2008, at the beginning of the Lee Myung-bak administration, spread.



At that time, Rep. Lee Myung-bak served as a senior administrative officer in the Office of the Secretariat of the Blue House.




At a press conference yesterday, President-elect Yoon revealed the amount of transfer costs based on estimates from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance at 49.6 billion won.



On the other hand, the Ministry of National Defense is said to have reported to the transition committee that it would cost at least 500 billion won to move the building alone.



In this regard, Rep. Yoon said, "There is no reason for it to cost 500 billion won. We have never received an estimate from the Ministry of National Defense." He said, "If you give me 500 billion won (the budget), I will spend it within the 50 billion won range and return 450 billion won. " he accepted.



Rep. Yoon said, "I have checked many implementation plans and execution plans and are meticulously prepared." "If the government actively cooperates with the preparation of the reserve, I don't think there will be any major problems in moving into the Ministry of National Defense on May 10." he emphasized.
