Today, the presidential office is quietly preparing for the transition.

What's the current atmosphere in the presidential office?

[Reporter]
Yesterday's chaotic atmosphere subsided a little, and now there is heavy silence.

Originally, the presidential office was busy preparing for a senior secretary-level meeting on Sunday morning.

It is known that most of the key staff do not appear today, and fewer employees have come to work than usual.

Currently, all powers of state administration have been handed over to Acting President Han Deok-soo.

As such, the division of roles of the presidential office staff has not yet been clearly determined, and internally, a confusing atmosphere is read.

Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok met with Acting President Han Deok-soo in the morning to discuss the functions of the presidential office and how to transfer roles, but no specific transition plan came out, and it is known that awareness of the current situation and future countermeasures were briefly shared.

The rest of the staff seem to be closely watching the related discussion and waiting for the instructions of acting authority Han and chief Chung.

One of the staff members said, "It's true that I'm embarrassed by the call, but I think it's time to keep silent."

Some say they feel disappointed that the impeachment bill of President Yoon was passed after two attempts at the plenary session of the National Assembly, but they are trying to accept it calmly without revealing it as much as possible.

Officials in the presidential office are expected to continue this uneasy state for the time being until a clear division of duties comes down through Chief of Staff Chung Jin-seok.

Is there any movement of President Yoon?

[Reporter]
President Yoon is known to be staying at his official residence in Hannam-dong.

As the Constitutional Court's impeachment hearing begins tomorrow, it seems that they are preparing to engage in a legal battle with legal representatives over whether or not to establish a rebellion.

Meanwhile, the presidential office turned off the lights on the electronic display board entering the Yongsan government building yesterday when the impeachment bill of President Yoon was approved.The phrase

{Welcome to the President's Office} has disappeared.

The wreaths containing dozens of words of support for President Yoon at the entrance of the building are left intact.

The number of wreaths is increasing little by little every day, and the presidential office's security agency says it has no plans to remove them at this time.
