Park to take summer vacation late this month

President Park Geun-hye will take a summer vacation late this month, her spokeswoman said Monday.

Park will be away from the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae from July 29 to Aug. 2, spokeswoman Kim Haing said.

She declined to disclose where Park plans to go, citing security reasons.

As a lawmaker, Park used to spend her vacations at her home rather than going away on overseas trips. (Yonhap News)
