President-elect pushes ahead with relocation plan despite backlash from ruling and minor opposition parties' claims of budget waste
대통령 당선인, 여당과 소수 야당의 예산 낭비 주장 및 반발에도 이전 계획 추진


By Nam Hyun-woo

President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol announced his administration will relocate the presidential office and residence from Cheong Wa Dae in central Seoul's Jongno District, to the defense ministry compound in Yongsan District.
윤석열 대통령 당선인과 행정부는 대통령실과 거주실을 서울 종로구 중심의 청와대에서 용산구에 위치한 국방부로 이전하겠다고 발표했다.


"Given the public inconvenience and the purpose of giving Cheong Wa Dae back to the people, I believe it's the right choice to make a prompt decision to move to the headquarters of the Ministry of National Defense in Yongsan," Yoon said during a press conference.
윤 당선인은 기자회견 동안 "국민들께 불편을 드리는 측면, 청와대를 온전히 국민께 개방하여 돌려드리는 측면을 고려하면 용산 국방부 청사 이전 결정을 신속히 내리고 추진하는 것이 옳다고 판단했다"고 말했다.


"I am well aware of concerns over the hasty relocation as my term will begin in just 50 days… However, once I get into Cheong Wa Dae, it will be harder for me to move out of the complex, which is the symbol of Korea's imperial presidency."
"임기 시작이 50일 남은 시점에서 대통령 집무실 이전을 너무 서두르는 게 아닌가 하는 우려도 알고 있다 … 그러나 일단 청와대 경내로 들어가면 제왕적 권력의 상징인 청와대를 벗어나는 것이 더욱 어려워질 것이라고 판단했다."


He said he will start his presidency on May 10 at the new office, which sits next to U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan, and the Cheong Wa Dae site will be opened to the public.
윤 당선인은 용산 주한미군부대본부 옆에 위치한 새 집무실에서 5월 10일 임기를 시작할 것이며 청와대는 국민에게 개방하겠다고 밝혔다.


The defense ministry will be moved to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) headquarters, which is also inside the compound, and the JCS will move to the Army Public Affairs Division building for a while before relocating to the Namtaeryeong area in southern Seoul.
국방부는 역시 구내에 위치한 합동참모본부(합참) 청사로 이전될 것이며 합참청사는 서울 남쪽의 남태령 지역으로 이전될 예정이다.


Cheong Wa Dae is a complex of multiple buildings including the presidential residence and office and other facilities for presidential aides and security personnel. It has been the office for all presidents of Korea since the country's establishment in 1948.
청와대는 대통령 거주실과 집무실 및 대통령 보좌관 및 보안요원들을 위한 기타 시설을 포함한 여러 건물의 복합 건물이다. 청와대는 1948년 국가 건립 이후 모든 대한민국 대통령의 사무실로 이용되어 왔다.


KEY WORDS
■ push ahead [계획 따위]를 추진해 나가다
■ backlash 반발
■ compound (큰 건물이나 시설 따위의) 구내
■ imperial 제국의, 황제의
■ relocate 이전하다
■ personnel 인원, 직원들
