Office of the President of the Republic of Korea

The Office of the President of the Republic of Korea (Korean: 대통령비서실; Hanja: 大統領秘書室) assists the President of South Korea. Chief of Staff to the President is the head of the Office of the President and is a ministerial-level official. Cheong Wa Dae or Blue House was often used as a metonym for the Presidential Secretariat because of its location before President Yoon Suk Yeol moved the office and residency of the President out of Blue House in May 2022. The Presidential Secretariat is an important part of the executive branch of the South Korean government.
