There's little time for champagne after the successful campagning for the Trump camp.
His teams will roll up their sleeves and lay the vital groundwork.
For a closer look at what the Trump administration will consist of, we have our Kim Hyunbin.
With some 70 days until Donald Trump occupies the Oval Office, focus now is on who will be part of his Cabinet.
During Trump's victory speech, the Republican President-elect introduced some of his close aides widely viewed as the most probable to be nominated to top posts.
Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the House of Representatives, is one of Trump's early supporters and has been tipped as the next top diplomat of Washington, or Secretary of State.
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is one of Trump's most ardent surrogates and expected to be named Attorney General.
Meanwhile, Chairman of the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus is seen as a possible candidate for the Chief of Staff position. Priebus has close relations with the current speaker of the house Paul Ryan and is seen to have potential to steer the new administration's legislative agenda.
Also on the list is New Jersey governor Chris Christie, also among Trump's early supporters. Christie could be named as the Commerce Secretary.
U.S. Alabama senator Jeff Sessions, who currently sits in the Armed Services Committee, the Judiciary Committee and the Budget Committee, is the likely candidate for the position of Secretary of Defense.
And Michael Flynn, a retired three star Army general, is on the list of candidates to be Trump's National Security Advisor. Flynn helped Trump stay connected with veterans despite the candidate's lack of military service.
Last on the list is Trump's finance chairman Steven Mnuchin, who Trump himself named as the Treasury Secretary.
