On Parents' Day, May 8, President Lee Jae-myung expressed deep respect for all parents dedicated to their families and the nation. He stated, "The heartfelt desire to leave a better world for our children is the root of this country and the driving force behind its prosperity and growth. Today's South Korea stands on that silent dedication."
In a Facebook post, he said, "On this 54th Parents' Day, I extend my sincere gratitude and respect to all parents who are devoted to their families and the nation."
Lee reflected on his own experience, saying, "A parent carries the weight of the world for each child. I truly realized this only after becoming a father of two."
He emphasized the need for a society that does not rely solely on parental sacrifice but rather fosters a nation where the community shares responsibility, stating, "We will strive for a 'country where the people are happy,' so everyone can look forward to a better future."
The president asserted that parents who have dedicated their lives deserve to enjoy a worry-free and happy retirement. He pledged to provide more attentive care and expand practical support for parents.
He outlined initiatives by the people's sovereignty government, including 'community-integrated care,' 'dementia asset management services,' and a record 1.15 million senior job opportunities, along with reforms to unfair pension systems to ensure healthy and vibrant retirements.
Lee concluded by wishing for a warm day where gratitude and love can be shared with those who may not have heard it before.
