President Yoon Suk-yeol met with environmental public officials on the first day of the Lunar New Year holiday, the 9th, to express his gratitude for their hard work. This schedule reflects President Yoon's intention to personally encourage those who cannot return home during the holiday and are diligently fulfilling their duties.

According to the presidential office, President Yoon had a rice cake soup breakfast with environmental public officials at a restaurant in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, who quietly carry out essential tasks for society such as street cleaning and waste collection even during the holiday.

President Yoon encouraged the attendees, saying, "Because of the environmental public officials, the people can live comfortably." He also listened to the suggestions of the environmental public officials present and expressed his intention to improve their working conditions.

The breakfast included nine street cleaning environmental public officials from Dongjak-gu, Minister of Environment Han Hwa-jin, and Dongjak-gu Mayor Park Il-ha. From the presidential office, Policy Chief Seong Tae-yoon and Senior Secretary for Social Affairs Jang Sang-yoon attended.

Since taking office, President Yoon has been meeting with workers, police officers, firefighters, soldiers, and other field public officials working during holiday periods to encourage them and promise improvements in their treatment.

During the 2022 Chuseok holiday, he visited the Air Defense Battalion under the Capital Defense Command, and during last year's Chuseok holiday, he visited Korean Air cargo terminal at Incheon International Airport, Eulji Police Substation in Jung-gu, Seoul, Jungbu Fire Station, and the 25th Army Division.

A presidential office official explained that this breakfast was also promoted according to President Yoon's wish to offer a warm meal to environmental public officials who dedicate themselves in unseen parts of our society.
