President Yoon Suk-yeol was sworn in as the 20th state leader of South Korea on Tuesday morning, vowing to rebuild the nation based on values of liberal democracy and a market economy.
More than 40,000 people, including political leaders, foreign envoys and residents, were invited to the inauguration ceremony held at the National Assembly from 11:00 a.m.
A state prosecutor for 27 years and a political novice, Yoon came out victorious in the March presidential election that was the closest race in the country’s history.
He began work at a new presidential office in Yongsan, central Seoul, not the traditional Cheong Wa Dae premises, with the stated purpose of becoming a more approachable president.
The new president rules for a single, five-year term until May of 2027.
