South Korean President Lee Returns to Traditional Presidential Palace, Reversing Predecessor's Move

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has commuted to Cheong Wa Dae, the traditional presidential palace, for the first time since taking office. This move reverses his predecessor Yoon Suk Yeol's decision to relocate the presidential office to the Defence Ministry compound. Lee, who won a snap election after Yoon's removal, aims to erase Yoon's legacy. Yoon had argued Cheong Wa Dae was too isolated and relocated the office for greater public access and democracy, opening the former palace as a tourist site.
