Office of the President Republic of Korea, commonly referred as the Yongsan Presidential Office, formerly Ministry of National Defense Building, is currently the official residence of the president of South Korea. It is located at 22 Itaewon-ro, Yongsan District, Seoul. The building was opened in November 2003, its area totalling 276,000 square meters. Following the inauguration of President Yoon Suk Yeol in May 2022, Blue House or Cheong Wa Dae, the previous presidential residence, was relieved of its duties and replaced by the current building.

In 2024, balloons from North Korea containing rubbish landed on the compound in July and October.
