SEOUL: All eyes were on Seoul’s presidential Blue House Saturday as South Koreans awaited ex-president Park Geun-Hye’s reaction to her impeachment and preparations to move into her private residence. News reports said Park was watching TV alone in her private presidential room Friday when the Constitutional Court announced her dismissal live on air. An incredulous Park immediately phoned her aides to confirm the verdict, the Chosun Ilbo daily said. Park will leave the Blue House only after her private house in prosperous southern Seoul is repaired and cleaned to accommodate her and her security detail. But that may no longer be an option once she leaves the Blue House, when she could face formal arrest if she refuses a summons.
