The Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae)-South Korean Presidential Office/Residence
The Blue House is the equivalent of The White House in the U.S. It is the executive office and official residence of the President of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and is located in Seoul. It is actually a complex of buildings built in traditional Korean architecture. The Korean name for Blue House translates to pavilion of blue tiles and there are about 150,000 blue tiles on the roof of the main building.
In 1968, North Korean infiltrators almost reached the building in an attempt to assassinate President Park Chung-hee. 28 North Koreans, 68 South Koreans, and 4 Americans were killed.

Opening Cheong Wa Dae
[Anchor Lead]
The street in front of Cheong Wa Dae, which used to be closed at night, will open to the public around the clock starting on June 26. The barricades at the entrance of the street will be removed, and the public will be allowed to take photos against the backdrop of the Cheong Wa Dae.
[Pkg]
The street in front of the Cheong Wa Dae, the presidential residence, is lined with ginkgo trees. Every spring, blossoming cheery trees at the center of the street create a breathtaking view. Over the past half a century, the street had been closed to the public from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. for security reasons. But under the new administration's policies, which seek to reduce security and bring the presidential office closer to the public, the street will be open around the clock starting on June 26. The street stretches 460 meters from the Spring and Autumn Pavilion of the Cheong Wa Dae to the Fountain Square. The public welcomed the decision. The Cheong Wa Dae has also decided to change the way it operates five security check points installed near the street. So far, all vehicles were required to stop to undergo security checks, but starting on June 26 they will only be conducted when there is a security threat. The public will also be allowed to take photos against the backdrop of the presidential residence. However, taking images using drones will be banned, as they may be used in terrorist attacks.

Korea's new president to hold first press conference at Cheong Wa Dae
문재인 대통령, 2시반 청와대에서 취임 후 첫 기자회견
President Moon Jae-in is set to hold his first press conference as president here at Cheong Wa Dae at 2:30 p.m.
Ji-sun, how is the presidential office preparing for Moon's arrival?
Daeun.
We are a bit behind schedule as President Moon Jae-in spent time shaking hands and speaking with the people on his way to Cheong Wa Dae.
He was set to have lunch at 1 p.m. with former Acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn , who served as Prime Minister in the Park Geun-hye administration.
In addition to that, Moon and key staff members are scheduled to have briefings from the career presidential office staff who worked at Cheong Wa Dae during the Park administration, to better help them carry on their duties... as there is no transition period.
But Moon is likely already familiar with quite a few tasks,... as he served here as chief of staff to late President Roh Moo-hyun during his tenure.
His first press conference here at Chunchugwan - the press building attached to Cheong Wa Dae, will be broadcast live.
In his remarks,... President Moon is expected to lay out his major policy priorities and name key staff members,... including prime minister, National Security Council chief, head of the National Intelligence Service... and the new head of presidential security service.
President Moon is not expected to answer questions from the press, but his nominees will.
His next schedule is launching a job commission and discussing how to operate that new presidential committee.
Moon has been pledging to become the president of job creation, vowing to create 810-thousand new jobs in the public sector, particularly to tackle the record-high unemployment rate, with youth jobless rate standing at nearly 10-percent last year.
Later in the evening, Moon is very likely to speak with U.S. President Donald Trump on the phone... as the two allies have a lot to discuss, including North Korea's nuclear ambitions as well as strengthening bilateral ties.
Moon has pledged to work at the Government Complex at Gwanghwamun Plaza... instead of Cheong Wa Dae, which he considers isolated and blocks free communication with his Cabinet members and the people,... but that won't be happening immediately as that would take some time.
Daeun.

【你好首尔6】青瓦台的商业活力 Hello Seoul cheongwadae
Cheong Wa Dae
We visited the Executive Compound
THE BLUE HOUSE - CHEONG WA DAE - KOREA
Cheong Wa Dae (translation: The House of the Blue Roof Tiles or the Blue House, Office of the President of the Republic of Korea) is the executive office and official residence of the South Korean head of state, the President of the Republic of Korea. Both the English and Korean names refer to the building's blue-green roof. The Korean name has the literal meaning house of the blue roof tiles. Cheong Wa Dae is in fact a complex of buildings, built largely in the traditional Korean style with some modern elements. The correct term in international use should be Chungwadae or Cheongwadae, not The Blue House as it is often used in the western media.
At present, Cheong Wa Dae consists of the main office building, the official Presidential residence, Yeongbin-gwan (영빈관, 迎賓館) or the guest house, the Chunchugwan (춘추관, 春秋館) press hall, and the secretariat buildings. The entire complex covers 76,685 pyeong (about 250,000 m²).

Cheong Wa Dae on impeachment: Watching without words
탄핵 발표 앞둔 청와대.. '별도 메시지 없어.. 차분히 지켜볼 것'
The nation's top office is under tight security,... as the decision on whether President Park gets to stay or leave Cheong Wa Dae... approaches.
She will likely make a statement tomorrow after the verdict is out.
Song Ji-sun tells us more.
There were no words from Cheong Wa Dae... ahead of the impeachment decision,... with the presidential office saying only that it will be keeping a close eye on the verdict.
The president's lawyers have claimed that the procedure the National Assembly undertook to pass the impeachment motion... was not legitimate... and that the motion should be overturned,... as it is groundless.
They were also against the Constitutional Court's decision to set a deadline for the impeachment verdict... and its attempts to make a prompt ruling,... saying the court's actions are biased and unjust and favor the opposition over the president.
A day before the impeachment ruling... the president's chief of staff chaired a meeting with all the senior secretaries... to discuss measures for all possible scenarios.
Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, the acting president, also convened a similar gathering of the Cabinet... to discuss the same subject.
Given the gravity of the situation, the police have vowed to maintain tight security throughout the weekend.
The top office is secured by a wall of police buses and officers... and the Constitutional Court is under guard on the highest alert.
It is not yet known how or when the president would leave the presidential compound... if she is removed from office.
The presidential office also dismissed the possibility that she would voluntarily resign -- regardless of the impeachment decision. After the verdict is read, the president could offer remarks in person, issue a statement or have her spokesperson comment on her behalf.

2016 Travelling To South Korea Cheong Wa Dae
Cheongwadae is the executive office and official residence of the President of the Republic of Korea. The Korean name literally translates to “pavilion of blue tiles.”
The signature markings of the Presidential Residence of Cheong Wa Dae are its blue tiles. It is the first thing that catched one’s attention upon entering the premises. The blue tiles and the smooth roof blend beautifully with Mt. Bugaksan in the backdrop.
Cheong Wa Dae appoints lawyer to represent President Park
We start with the latest development in the power abuse scandal linked to the president's confidante Choi Soon-sil... that has sparked widespread calls for President Park Geun-hye to resign.
With just a matter of days remaining until the president is questioned by prosecutors, an unprecedented event for a sitting Korean president, the top office has pinpointed a lawyer to represent her.
Let's get more from our Song Ji-sun who is at the presidential office.
Ji-sun, fill us in.
Daeun.
The presidential spokesperson said President Park will be represented by Yoo Yeong-ha, a former prosecutor who served in the Changwon, Incheon and Northern Seoul Prosecutors' Offices.
He was a standing commissioner at the National Human Rights Commission for two years... before he opened his own law practice.
He also served as President Park's special legal adviser when she was a member of the ruling party's Supreme Council... and he made several attempts to run for parliament himself.
He will represent the president and make the arrangements with the prosecutors' office... for the date, time and place of the questioning session.
Although prosecutors want to begin questioning within a day or two -- before their planned indictment of Choi Soon-sil on Saturday -- the presidential office is reportedly asking for more days to prepare.
Whenever it happens, it will be a historic moment, because it will be the first time a sitting president undergoes questioning. What is next for President Park after that? And what's the atmosphere there like after the massive protest over the weekend and the continued calls for the president to step down?
After the weekend demonstration involving a million protesters and the unified statements from the opposition parties, the top office has certainly heard the calls for President Park's resignation.
But the presidential office views it as an option of last resort and is not considering it at the moment.
The top office is firm on its view that it would be unconstitutional for the president to abandon her post, and she is committed to fulfilling her responsibilities.
At today's briefing as well, the presidential spokesperson reiterated that the top office is considering all possible measures to stabilize the situation and carry on with state affairs.
Their first priority is still dialogue with parliament to select a prime minister who would handle state affairs.
But if the National Assembly moves ahead with impeachment, President Park will be left with no option but to step down.
Daeun.
Well, the constitution is being brought up many times with regard to what's next for President Park.
Let's see how things unfold.
Thank you Ji-sun.
