President Yoon Seok-yeol looked around the Yongsan Presidential Office building and said, “Why is the desk of the secretary’s office in one direction?”
On the 11th, the second day of his inauguration, President Yoon toured the office of the presidential office in Yongsan, Seoul, and talked with the executives of the presidential office, encouraging them, “For a while (please understand)”
President Yoon confirmed that the desks in most of the secretariat’s offices, such as the office of the secretary for public service discipline, the office of the secretary for state affairs, and the office of the chief economic officer, were lined up in one direction and asked, “Why are all the desks of the secretary’s office in one orientation?”
When the answer came, “The space is small,” President Yoon said, “Oh, that’s right. Yeah, even if it’s a little uncomfortable (later), I’m not going to move everything.”

President Yoon said, “It should be easy to work, but I’m sorry for making you all work under difficult conditions, but what should I do?” He encouraged, saying, “Let’s be patient a little bit and work hard.”
According to YTN and other videos, in the office space in the presidential office, all desks are arranged in such a way that they face the entrance door.
In the 1990s, department manager-level desks were located by the window, with a manager or manager level in the front row, and an assistant manager or employee level in the front row. Because the boss has no choice but to look at the monitors of lower-ranking employees, this layout is called ‘the devil’s seat layout’ among office workers.
