South Korea Plans to Relocate Government Bodies from Seoul
South Korea announced plans on Thursday, September 3, to establish a second presidential office and legislative complex in the administrative city of Sejong. This move is part of an accelerated effort to relocate hundreds of institutions from Seoul. The government aims to reduce the capital's dominance, as the Seoul metropolitan area, despite comprising only 12% of the nation's land, accounts for 53% of South Korea's GDP.
