[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] The Constitutional Court has decided to open the Bukaksan Mountain hiking trail near the residence of the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court starting from July 2.

According to the legal community on the 29th, the Constitutional Court made this decision after a practical consultation with the Cultural Heritage Administration, which manages the hiking trail. The opening hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The Bukaksan Mountain hiking trail in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, which gained popularity when the government opened the Blue House last month on the 10th, was closed on the 2nd of this month.

This hiking trail connects Bukaksan Mountain around the residence of the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, and the Constitutional Court requested the Cultural Heritage Administration to close it due to noise and privacy concerns.

In this regard, Kwon Seong-dong, the floor leader of the People Power Party, said on the 24th, "The Constitutional Court should not overly honor the Chief Justice and should immediately reopen the road that was closed this weekend."
