[Asia Economy Reporter Son Sun-hee] The Blue House announced on the 15th that Presidential Chief of Staff Noh Young-min, National Security Office Director Chung Eui-yong, and Policy Chief Kim Sang-jo have all donated their entire emergency disaster relief funds.

Kang Min-seok, Blue House spokesperson, held a briefing at the press center in the afternoon and said, "All three chiefs have families of three and expressed their intention to donate."

He also shared brief comments from each chief along with their donation intentions. Chief Noh said, "Good donation, good consumption," and Chief Kim said, "Both donation and consumption are good." This encourages not only donating the disaster relief funds but also actively using them to revitalize the domestic market, which has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier, the Blue House revealed that President Moon also donated the entire 600,000 won household-based disaster relief fund by choosing not to receive it on the 7th.
