This is because the official residence in Hannam-dong, where President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife will be moving soon, is visible.
Last August, the Ministry of National Defense designated 136,000 square meters of the area around the official residence as a military facility protection zone for the purpose of conducting alert and security operations, strengthening control over the entire area.
