Korean Government Approves Building of New US Embassy at Old Yongsan Garrison Property

It looks like the US embassy in Seoul will soon have a new location to call home:

A key administrative process to relocate the U.S. embassy building in Seoul was approved by city officials Thursday, opening the door for the beginning of the construction project that will close the embassy’s half-century-old presence in the heart of the South Korean capital.

The Seoul metropolitan government’s city planning and construction committee approved the district units plan of the U.S. embassy’s new site in Yongsan-dong of Seoul’s central Yongsan Ward.
