Up to 50,000 people can gather, the indoor hall can be used when it rains, and the advantages in security and accessibility were finally reflected.
At first, President-elect Yoon preferred Yongsan and Gwanghwamun, where the office would be located, but was excluded from the selection because 90% of Yongsan Citizens Park was unopened and traffic was congested, and Gwanghwamun Square was under construction.
After the direct constitutional amendment in 1987, the presidential inauguration has been held inside and outside the National Assembly.
President Moon Jae-in, who took office the day after the election, held his inauguration in the concourse inside the Capitol, while other presidents held their inauguration outside the Capitol.
As a symbol of national unity, the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Yoon will be attended by 500 people from a special invited national group by region, class, occupation, and generation.
The elected wife, Kim Kun-hee, will also attend.
Lee Do-hoon, who oversaw the opening and closing ceremonies of the Pyeongchang Olympics and planned the 'drone show', was appointed as the general director of the inauguration ceremony.
Some outlines of the reorganization of the next government were also revealed.
The transition committee said that it would reinforce the Ministry of Unification, which has raised the possibility of reducing its role, to restore its unique functions, such as inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation and humanitarian aid.
On the other hand, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family reiterated its position on abolition, saying, "We will continue to follow the promises made by the elected candidates."
