New presidential office plan lacks consensus
새 집무실 이전 계획은 합의 부족


On Sunday, President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol announced a decision to relocate the presidential office from Cheong Wa Dae to the Ministry of National Defense building in Yongsan, central Seoul. The decision is part of his campaign pledge to move out of a symbol of the "imperial" presidency and better communicate with the people.
윤석열 대통령 당선인은 일요일 청와대에서 용산 국방부 청사로 청와대 이전을 결정했다. 이번 결정은 ‘제왕적' 대통령직의 상징에서 벗어나 국민들과 더 나은 소통을 하겠다는 선거 공약의 일부이다.


Yoon said he will start his five-year presidency at the office to be created on the second floor of the defense ministry building after his inauguration on May 10. He plans to use one of the government's official residences in Hannam-dong, close to the ministry, as his residence. With the relocation, Cheong Wa Dae will be opened fully to the public on the same day.
윤 당선인은 5월 10일 취임 후 국방부 청사 2층에 마련될 대통령 집무실에서 5년 임기를 시작할 것이라고 말했다. 윤 당선인은 국방부와 가까운 한남동 공관 중 하나를 관저로 사용할 예정이다. 이번 이전 계획으로 청와대는 5월 10일 국민에게 전면 개방된다.


In the lead-up to the March 9 election, Yoon had initially promised to relocate the presidential office to the Government Complex in Gwanghwamun. Several days after he won the election, his plan changed due to problems with presidential escorts, security, protocol and traffic. His transition team presented two options: move to the adjacent Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, or to the defense ministry compound.
3월 9일 대선을 앞두고 당시 윤 후보는 당초 대통령 집무실을 광화문 정부종합청사로 이전하겠다고 약속했었다. 당시 윤 후보가 당선된 지 며칠 후 이전 계획은 대통령 호위, 경호, 의전, 교통 문제로 인해 변경되었다. 윤 당선인의 인수팀은 두 가지 선택지를 제시했는데, 인접한 외교부 청사나 국방부 청사로 이전하는 것이었다.


Finally Yoon choose the defense ministry building after taking into consideration all the problems, including security issues and relocation costs. If his decision is put into action, the defense ministry will move into the Joint Chiefs of Staff building in the compound. Then the Joint Chiefs of Staff is likely to be relocated to the Capital Defense Command compound in Namtaeryeong, southern Seoul.
결국 윤 당선인은 안보 문제와 이전 비용 등 모든 문제를 고려해 국방부 청사로 결정한다. 윤 당선인의 결정이 실행에 옮겨지면 국방부는 영내 합참 청사로 이전하게 된다. 합참 본부는 서울 남태령 수도방위사령부 영내로 이전할 가능성이 높다.
