The Blue House is the equivalent of The White House in the U.S. It is the executive office and official residence of the President of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and is located in Seoul. It is actually a complex of buildings built in traditional Korean architecture. The Korean name for Blue House translates to "pavilion of blue tiles" and there are about 150,000 blue tiles on the roof of the main building.

In 1968, North Korean infiltrators almost reached the building in an attempt to assassinate President Park Chung-hee. 28 North Koreans, 68 South Koreans, and 4 Americans were killed.
