SEOUL, Oct. 7 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Jae Myung on Tuesday reaffirmed his pledge to focus on improving people's livelihoods, a day after the nation celebrated the Chuseok holiday.
​
"With a humble heart, I promise again that I will more carefully look after the people's present and the future of their livelihoods," Lee wrote on Instagram as he shared photos of him and first lady Kim Hea Kyung in traditional Korean attire to mark the nation's fall harvest festival.
​
He said he would commit to such efforts even if it could mean putting important things on the line or risking finger pointing and misunderstanding.
​
Lee's comments come as South Korea and the United States are currently undergoing tariff negotiations.
​
It also came after the main opposition People Power Party criticized his appearance last night on JTBC's cooking show "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator," where he promoted Korean cuisine.
​
The recording of the episode featuring Lee and his wife took place amid an outage of online government services due to a fire at a state data center late last month.

SEOUL, Oct. 4 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Jae Myung and first lady Kim Hea Kyung on Saturday offered their greetings to the public on the second day of the extended Chuseok holiday, vowing utmost efforts to improve people's livelihoods.

​
"The Chuseok holiday is a time when we wish for abundance for the year and dream of a hopeful future but the hardships facing people's livelihoods remain too great for us to be sharing only joy," he said.
Lee pledged his utmost efforts to help "every household live more prosperously" and ensure that the country's industries make a "vigorous leap forward."
​
"I am confident we will overcome all challenges, given our people's shared commitment and aspiration for a better tomorrow," he added.

Parties clash over Lee's appearance on TV cooking show

이재명 대통령의 TV 요리 쇼 출연 두고 충돌

Kim Soo-yeon Politics 18:27 October 07, 2025 Yonhap News

SEOUL, Oct. 7 (Yonhap) -- The ruling and opposition parties on Tuesday sparred over President Lee Jae Myung's appearance on a TV cooking show amid criticism that it was not appropriate to appear on an entertainment program amid a fire-caused outage of online government services.
​
Late last month, Lee and first lady Kim Hea Kyung took part in a special broadcast of JTBC's cooking show "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator" in a bid to promote Korean foods. The cable TV channel aired the recording of the episode on Monday night, this year's Chuseok fall harvest holiday.
​
The ruling Democratic Party (DP) defended Lee's appearance as well-suited to promote K-foods, while the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) insisted Lee's appearance on a TV entertainment show was not appropriate in the midst of the outage of online government services caused by last month's fire at a state data center.
​
"Lee's appearance on the TV show was aimed at promoting K-foods to the world and facilitating exports of Korean cuisine," Rep. Boo Seung-chan, spokesperson for the DP, said in a written briefing.
​
He called on the PPP and its leader Jang Dong-hyeok to apologize for causing a political stir during the Chuseok holiday and to join the DP's efforts to revive the people's livelihoods.
​
The PPP denounced Lee's appearance as a broadcast designed to promote himself.
​
"In the midst of the national disaster, the scene of Lee smiling on an entertainment show cannot be understood from the public's common sense," Rep. Choi Bo-yun, spokesperson for the PPP, said.
