Lee Jae-myung Calls for the Presidential Office to Be Moved Back to Cheongwadae

Repairs aren’t what is needed at Cheongwadae, a thorough sweeping for listening devices is what is needed after being open to the public for so long:

Presidential contender Rep. Lee Jae-myung’s proposal to move the presidential office back to Cheong Wa Dae has reopened a divisive national debate — not only about public access to the symbolic site but also about how presidential power should be situated in Korea.

In the liberal Democratic Party of Korea’s first televised primary debate on Friday, Lee said that if he is elected, he would continue using the current presidential office in Yongsan District for the time being but move to Cheong Wa Dae “after necessary repairs are made.” 

He said he eventually wants to move the presidential office to Sejong City, the nation’s administrative capital. But he added that moving directly to Sejong is unrealistic at this point, calling Cheong Wa Dae “a feasible interim step.”

Might as well move it to Pyongyang, one level below the Supreme Leader’s office.
