All products except the wristwatches were produced in collaboration with artists with developmental disabilities affiliated with 'Thisabled,' a specialized agency for artists with developmental disabilities, and 'Art We Can' (Korea Association of Cultural and Artistic Activities for People with Developmental Disabilities).

A presidential office official said, "These souvenirs were planned to fully embody the vision of a 'warm government, an active government,' and we will continue to develop products that promote unique local specialties or support various social groups."

Kim Hyun-il, CEO of Thisabled, said, "We priced the products so that many people can easily purchase them," adding, "We are also considering donating the sales proceeds under the artists' names."

Presidential office goods will also be sold at Sarangchae, the souvenir sales location of the Blue House, starting in the second half of this year. Additional sales methods will be considered to enhance public accessibility and convenience.
