This is a horrible way to die, being electrocuted in a sauna:
Three elderly women died from electrocution at a public bathhouse in the central city of Sejong on Sunday, police said.
The three, all in their 70s, were in a hot tub at the bathhouse in Sejong’s Jochiwon district when the accident happened at 5:37 a.m. A witness told the police the three collapsed with a scream, and she called the 119 emergency number for help.
When rescue workers arrived, all three were in a state of cardiac arrest and were rushed to a hospital, but two of them died shortly thereafter, and the other was also pronounced dead hours later.
Just from a security stand point getting the Presidential office out of North Korean artillery range would be a smart move:

Several government ministries will team up to help facilitate the construction of a second presidential office in Sejong City, an administrative area 144 kilometers south of Seoul, by 2027, according to government officials, Sunday.
Setting up a second presidential office and a legislative building in Sejong was a key campaign pledge of President Yoon Suk-yeol, a vision he believes will cement the sparsely populated city as the nation’s administrative capital. The plan gained traction after the National Assembly revised related laws in May.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Ministry of Interior and Safety and the National Agency for Administrative City Construction said a joint team of officials will commission a study before October to determine the function, size and location of the second office. Plans to strengthen the public transportation system and infrastructure in a broader context of city planning will also follow.
