Residents Protest Construction of Retirement Home for President Moon

Apparently some residents don’t want President Moon to retire to their small community in South Gyeongsang Province:

Construction of President Moon Jae-in’s post-presidency residence has been halted recently faced with resistance from residents of the area, according to Cheong Wa Dae sources Thursday. 

Moon and first lady Kim Jung-sook plan to relocate to Habuk, a small town in the rural city of Yangsan, South Gyeongsang Province, after retiring in May 2022. They purchased a 2,630-square-meter property in the area for 1.06 billion won ($870,000) last year.

You can read more at the link, but supposedly the villagers are concerned by increased traffic from his residence, but I suspect the opposition is more for political reasons.
