SEOUL, April 10 (AJP) - Cheong Wa Dae, once the presidential office which opened to the public in May 2022 after the inauguration of former President Yoon Suk Yeol, is experiencing a sharp increase in visitors following the Constitutional Court's verdict to oust Yoon from office.

The surge is attributed to two main factors. The impeachment protests that had gripped nearby areas like Gwanghwamun have ceased.

Additionally, there is growing speculation that public access to the compound will again be restricted if the presidential office, currently located in Yongsan, is moved back to Cheong Wa Dae after the upcoming snap presidential election.
