An employee of the Office of the People’s Power, who posted an안전놀이터 article on an Internet site saying that he would sell the president’s Chuseok gift, was placed on standby.
On the 23rd, Secretary General Lee Chul-kyu of People’s Power said, “It shouldn’t happen, but it seems that the employee took the matter too lightly.”
On the 21st, the employee posted a post saying, ‘I will sell the president’s Chuseok gift’ on an internet used trading site, and then deleted it.
The employee, who set the amount at 300,000 won, wrote, “The item has not yet been arrived, and the item is undecided.”
Usually, the president sends gifts to people from all walks of life who have devoted themselves to the development of the country and society during Chuseok and Lunar New Year holidays.
President Yoon Seok-yeol presented a gift consisting of Tteokguk Tteok (Uiseong, Gyeongsangbuk-do), Tripe Kim (Sinan, Jeonnam), Hwang Tae-chae (Inje, Gangwon-do), Shiitake (Cheongyang, Chungcheongnam-do), Anchovy (Tongyeong, Gyeongnam), Red Shrimp (Ongjin, Incheon), etc. sent to 15,000 people.
