South Korean Blue House publishes President Lee Jae-myung's first speech collection

The Blue House has released the first volume of President Lee Jae-myung's speech collection, covering his first year in office. The 386-page compilation includes speeches from major domestic and international events, such as the G20 Summit, Liberation Day celebrations, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Southern Inland Railway, and the May 18 Democratization Movement commemoration.

In addition to formal speeches, the collection features key social media messages sent by the President between June of last year and May of this year. The publication aims to encapsulate the administration's governing philosophy of ‘a nation where the people are masters and a happy Republic of Korea.’

The collection is being distributed for free both online and offline. Physical copies will be provided to legislative, executive, and judicial branches, as well as local governments, public institutions, and libraries. The digital version is available through official government websites and major online bookstores. To improve accessibility, the e-book includes links to live video broadcasts of the speeches and voice conversion codes for the elderly and people with disabilities.
