President Lee Jae-myung expressed his commitment to listening to the small wishes of soldiers defending the country during the first慰問列車 performance at the Marine Corps Yeonpyeong Base in 15 years.
On November 7, President Lee shared an article about the慰問列車 performance at Yeonpyeong Base on his X account, noting, "The慰問列車 performance was held at Yeonpyeong Base for the first time in 15 years."
This performance originated from a request made by a Marine during President Lee's visit to the Yeonpyeong Base in June. A soldier nearing discharge suggested hosting a慰問列車 performance for his juniors, prompting President Lee to instruct officials to explore the possibility of organizing the event.
President Lee recalled that the Marine expressed a desire for his juniors to experience a cultural performance, stating, "I was grateful for his thoughtfulness, even as he approached his discharge."
The慰問列車 program, organized by KFN TV, visited Yeonpyeong Base for the first time since 2011. The event was designed for both soldiers and local residents to enjoy together.
President Lee thanked the慰問列車 organizers for making the long journey to Yeonpyeong Island to ensure that soldiers and local residents could enjoy the performance together. He expressed hope that the music and cheers resonating through the base would leave soldiers with joyful memories, adding, "I will listen to each soldier's voice."
