Addition of Taegeukgi and Presidential Office Logo to Cheonanham Designation 'PCC-772'

The Presidential Office reportedly produced and distributed T-shirts and hats commemorating the fallen soldiers of the Cheonan ship on the 28th.


According to the Presidential Office, they recently produced Cheonan ship T-shirts in-house and distributed them to senior secretaries, some secretaries, the security office, and the Presidential Office tennis club.


Earlier, President Yoon Suk-yeol purchased a Cheonan ship T-shirt for the first time when he met Jeon Jun-young, the president of the Cheonan ship survivors' reserve comrades association, on Memorial Day in 2021, shortly after announcing his presidential candidacy.


President Yoon wore the T-shirt and hat during a tour of the Blue House on June 1 last year, shortly after his inauguration, and has continued to wear the Cheonan ship T-shirt whenever possible when going out.

He wore the Cheonan ship T-shirt during a walk in Paris, France, last June and in Vilnius, Lithuania, last month. Earlier this month, during his summer vacation, he also wore the T-shirt while visiting the Jinhae Naval Base. Most recently, on the 26th, at the Yongsan Children's Garden event, President Yoon and his wife Kim Keon-hee appeared wearing the T-shirts side by side.


The Cheonan ship T-shirts and hats are inscribed with the ship's official designation, 'PCC-772.' The T-shirts produced this time by the Presidential Office also feature the Presidential Office logo and the Taegeukgi (Korean national flag).



A representative from the Presidential Office said, "The purpose of producing these was to collectively commemorate the fallen soldiers of the Cheonan ship, and we plan to produce and distribute many more T-shirts in the future."
