Closing of the Blue House website... The national petition with '220 million people who agreed to it' is also closed.

As President Moon Jae-in's term of office ended yesterday (the 9th), the Blue House website was effectively shut down.

If you visit the Blue House website, you can only see the information that '(data) has been transferred to the Presidential Archives'.

The Blue House records of successive governments, including the Moon Jae-in government, are now stored on the Presidential Archives website instead of the existing Blue House website.

In particular, as President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol decided to move the Office of the President to Yongsan and turn the Blue House into a park, the 'Blue House Homepage' as an online window for the Office of the President seems to no longer exist.

The Blue House National Petition, introduced by the Moon Jae-in government, has also been closed.

From the beginning of his tenure to the present, more than 1.1 million petitions have been posted on the Blue House's public petition bulletin board.

A total of 516 million people visited the National Petitions bulletin board, which started on August 19, 2017, until February of this year, and the number of daily visitors averaged 311 million, and an average of 670 petitions were posted per day.

During the same period, the cumulative number of consenters reached a total of 229 million.
