President and First Lady invite children to Cheong Wa Dae on Children's Day
In Nokjiwon (the Cheong Wa Dae garden and lawn), the children enjoyed various activities, including face painting and paper folding. The Presidential couple joined the children at Nokjiwon, which was turned into a children's playground for the day, and participated in various activities like a friendly neighborhood grandfather and grandmother. Notably, the First Lady volunteered to teach the children how to do paper folding.
In his welcoming remarks, President Lee said, "I had a difficult time growing up, and it was hard for me to even go to school. But I never let go of my hope and dream and continued to work hard. Eventually I was able to become President." He urged the children not to give up their dreams and hopes even under difficult situations. Regarding child safety that has recently emerged as a social issue after several children went missing, the President pledged, "A truly advanced nation is a society where children are happy and safe. As President, I will make sure that our children can live happily in a safe environment."
In addition, First Lady Kim said, "I am so pleased because I feel as if I am surrounded by 150 grandchildren. I hope our children can give great momentum to the effort to turn our society into a more caring one by actively reaching out to their neighbors in need with helping hands."
