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 will be located, but because 90% of Yongsan Citizens Park is unopened and traffic is congested, Gwanghwamun Square was excluded from the selection because it was under construction.

After the direct constitutional amendment in 1987, the presidential inauguration ceremonies were 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 special invited national groups by region, class, occupation, and generation.

Some outlines of the reorganization of the next government were also revealed.

The transition committee announced that the Ministry of Unification, which has been raised about the possibility of reducing its role, will be reinforced 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 the abolition, saying, "We will continue to follow the promises made by the elected candidates."
