Governor Lee Jae-myung to Take Summer Vacation on the 30th (Comprehensive)

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, will take a summer vacation from the 30th of this month to the 5th of next month.

A representative from Governor Lee Jae-myung's office said on the 29th, "Since taking office in July 2018 for the 7th term of direct election, he has never had a proper vacation due to trials and other reasons," and added, "Since the Supreme Court ruling was recently concluded, the aides' opinion was to relieve the mental burden and spend time recharging, so (Governor Lee) decided to take a vacation."

It is reported that Governor Lee will spend personal maintenance time without any special plans during the vacation period.

However, in preparation for disaster situations such as COVID-19 and the summer heavy rains, a 24-hour emergency contact network will be maintained.

Governor Lee will attend the National Assembly Basic Income Research Forum inauguration ceremony and meet candidate Lee Nak-yeon on the first day of his vacation, the 30th, as scheduled.

Meanwhile, through a post titled "Reporting Vacation to the Residents" on Facebook that day, Governor Lee said, "With COVID-19 and various incidents continuing, I had not thought about taking a vacation by the end of July," and added, "I wondered if there would even be time to rest, but pressured by my secretaries who said, 'I have to go so that the quarantine officials can take turns resting without worry,' I changed my mind and decided to take a vacation starting tomorrow."

He also said, "I plan to unexpectedly visit valleys and go to the outskirts, spending some rare time alone with my wife," and added, "My goal is to put aside provincial government planning and just rest deeply, and I also plan to watch books and movies I haven't seen during that time."

Furthermore, Governor Lee publicly instructed, "To all Gyeonggi Province public officials, resting well is as important as working well, so senior officials should pay special attention to ensure that frontline public officials who are struggling in the field can take sufficient vacations."
