The South Korean government department announced on the 22nd that the new presidential office in Sejong City has initially selected a design plan and will begin construction after further adjustments. It is expected to be completed in 2029. The General Urban Development Office of Korea's administrative center announced on the same day that among the many alternative design plans for the new president's office, a design plan focusing on traditional architecture and landscape won the bid. The relevant designers will use a year to adjust and improve the plan to further incorporate aesthetic elements and modern spirit. The design and construction of the new office is expected to begin in 2027, and is scheduled to be completed in August 2029. Sejong City is located about 120 km southeast of Seoul. South Korean President Lee Jae-myung has said he will step down from his new office in Sejong, urging relevant departments to complete construction before the end of his term in 2030. The General Urban Development Office of Korea's administrative center said that the completion of the new office does not mean that the entire presidential office will move to Sejong, because that may cause controversy at the constitutional level.
