The Presidential Office invited about 160 national merit recipients and veterans' families to the Blue House State Guesthouse for a luncheon in commemoration of the Month of National Defense and Veterans. The Presidential Office explained, "This event is to offer the highest respect to those who sacrificed and dedicated themselves for the country, and to express our gratitude and appreciation."
Event attendees entered the State Guesthouse as the honor guard of the Korean Armed Forces, dressed in traditional uniforms, stood in formation and a traditional military band performed. President Lee Jaemyung and First Lady Kim Hyekyung personally greeted each attendee to show their respect. The luncheon menu featured health-promoting dishes such as chilled abalone with red snow crab meat and braised short rib with pine mushrooms.
The event's slogan was "Noble sacrifice, we will repay you with a better Republic of Korea," reflecting the commitment to remember and honor the sacrifices made for the nation.
In addition to Shin Hyunjoon, the guests included Yoon Junghui, the younger sister of the late martyr Yoon Sangwon, the real-life inspiration for "March for the Beloved," and Kim Kilja, the mother of the late martyr Moon Jaehak, who was the model for the novel "The Boy Is Coming."
