Seoul, April 7
Former South Korean President, Yoon Suk Yeol, remained at the official residence in Seoul for the fourth day on Monday after being removed from office over his short-lived martial law declaration in December.
Yoon is currently preparing to vacate the Hannam-dong residence in central Seoul following the Constitutional Court's ruling last Friday, though specific details have not yet been finalised, a presidential official said.
"The date of his departure and his next residence have not been confirmed," the official told News Agency by phone.
Following his inauguration in May 2022, Yoon relocated the presidential office from Cheong Wa Dae in downtown Seoul to the Defence ministry compound in the central district of Yongsan.
Yoon commuted from his private residence at the Acro Vista apartment complex in southern Seoul for six months while preparations were underway for the new presidential office and residence, which had been remodeled from the foreign minister's official residence.
The Presidential Security Service (PSS) is known to be working on protection arrangements for Yoon and former First Lady Kim Keon Hee, who are expected to move to the private residence as early as later this week.
