How to go to Blue Hall(Chengwadae) in Korea

Cheng WA Dae, Back to the people

Cheong Wa Dae(Cheong Wa Dae is the name for the Korean pronunciation of Blue Hall.) opened its doors to the public on May 10 soon after Yoon Suk yeol, a former prosecutor general, was sworn in as South Korea’s 20th president. The opening of the entrance to the Blue House was broadcast live as part of the presidential inauguration ceremony, and after the establishment of the Republic of Korea in 1948, the functions of 12 Korean presidents, from President Syngman Rhee to President Moon Jae In, ended.
The opening event is an event that shows the government's willingness to come from the people of true president, and reservations can be made easily on large platforms such as Naver, Kakao Talk, and Toss in Korea. The reservation system is easy to access because it is made accessible to all citizens, but the competition rate is significant, showing an average competition rate of 3.5:1. Foreigners can also apply.

Unfortunately, this open event is currently only available from May 10 to June 11, 2022. What people expect is that the event will end and there is a possibility that it will be registered as a cultural asset after maintaining the facility. Even if it's not this time, I look forward to seeing it again.

 

Main Office Building: The main building of the Cheng Wa Dae served as both the President's Office and reception hall for foreign diplomats.

 

Foreigner's Application Method

1) There must be a foreigner registration number. It is the number given by the Korean government to foreigners staying in Korea more than 90 days from the date of entry.
2) There should be a cell phone number used in Korea. In Korea, it is very rare to purchase chips and use phones like in other countries. Most telecommunication companies have their own mobile phones that have been authenticated by real name through their own authentication and use a method of charging for expenses later. At this time, most people match their mobile phones with their information through identification cards or copies. If you have a foreign registration number and a mobile phone number that can be used in Korea, you can apply on the online platforms Naker, Kakao Talk, and Toss, just like Koreans.

3) Reservations can be made easily only when membership is already registered on the selected online platform.
4) In my case, I was registered as a member of Naver, so I searched for the Blue House by viewing the page on Naver.
