Cheong Wa Dae (Korean: 청와대; Hanja: 靑瓦臺; lit. 'Cyan-tile Pavilion'), also known as the Blue House, is a public park that was the former executive office and residence of the president of South Korea. Located in Seoul's Jongno District, directly behind Gyeongbokgung Palace, it served as the center of presidential administration and state receptions from 1948 until 2022. Under the presidency of Yoon Suk Yeol, it was opened to the public as a museum and urban park. Cheong Wa Dae is expected to become the presidential residence again after the presidential office is moved.

In December 2024, after the impeachment of President Yoon, there have been increasing calls to restore Cheong Wa Dae as the presidential office and official residence. Rep. Kim Byung-joo of the Democratic Party, a former general, said that the Yongsan office was unsuitable as a presidential office, while conservative mayor of Daegu, Hong Joon-pyo said that Yoon's move away from Cheong Wa Dae "diminished the president's charisma from the outset and emboldened the (political) opposition" and "The Blue House, like the White House in the United States, is a symbol of Korea".[2] A joint survey released in June 2025 and conducted by South Korean broadcasters KBS, MBC and SBS found that 58.2% of respondents supported having the next South Korean president work at Cheong Wa Dae.[17] Following his inauguration that same month, President Lee Jae-myung said he would stay in the Yongsan office until the presidential office is relocated to Cheong Wa Dae.
