Seoul, April 7 (TIWN) South Korea's President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol will start working from his new office in what is now the defence ministry building as soon as he is inaugurated on May 10, a transition team official said on Thursday.

The question of where Yoon will kick off his term has been a subject of intense speculation as his plan to move the presidential office out of Cheong Wa Dae and into the defence ministry compound has been delayed by several weeks due to resistance from the outgoing administration.  The relocation is expected to pick up pace after the Cabinet approved part of the necessary funds at an extraordinary session ordered by President Moon Jae-in on Wednesday, Yonhap news agency reported.
