President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's side said, "There is no way to forcefully say, 'It has to be this way,'" regarding the relocation schedule of the Yongsan office.
An official from Yoon's side met with reporters today (4th) at the office of the transition committee in Tongui-dong, Jongno-gu, and asked, "Isn't it the same as moving into Yongsan's office on May 10, the presidential inauguration day?" It's been quite a while," he said.
Currently, working-level discussions between the President-elect Yoon and the current government to relocate the Oval Office from the Blue House to Yongsan are in progress.
It is known that the two sides agreed to primarily execute some of the reserve funds required before the office move.
However, some analysts say that it is unknown whether the 30 billion won reserve fund will be fully approved at the cabinet meeting tomorrow.
It is predicted that the amount may be reduced or even the agenda may not be proposed at all.
Also, even if the first reserve fund passes at the cabinet meeting tomorrow, it is expected that it will not be difficult to move into the Yongsan office and Hannam-dong official residence on May 10 due to the schedule.
President-elect Yoon's side said, "We presented a big original plan that about 49.6 billion won would be spent before the office, and after that, there is a consultation process with the Blue House and related ministries." When a decision is made, the time will come naturally to know.”
President-elect Yoon emphasized that there is no change in the plan to open the Blue House on May 10.
The official said, "(The opening of the Blue House on May 10) has made a promise to the people." "The Blue House will return to the people's arms as a place of living education on new modern history, and the public will be able to directly experience the beautiful Blue House. “He said.
