On the 6th, President Lee Jae-myung watched the animation 'The King of Kings' with about 30 residents of the social welfare facility 'Yeongrak Borinwon' at a cinema in Yongsan, Seoul.
Deputy Spokesperson Ahn Gwi-ryeong noted this during a written briefing that day. First Lady Kim Hye-kyeong also accompanied President Lee at the screening. 'The King of Kings' is a Korean animation that modernly reinterprets the life and teachings of Jesus Christ based on Charles Dickens' novel 'The Life of Our Lord.'
According to the Presidential Office, the presidential couple enjoyed popcorn while watching the film with the residents, and they took 'selfies' one by one, asking if they had fun. Deputy Spokesperson Ahn conveyed, 'The residents expressed their excitement, curiously asking the presidential couple about their favorite characters, which led to honest and unexpected questions that brought laughter.'
President Lee said, 'I expect this to be a valuable experience for the children, confirming that they are respected and loved, rather than just watching a simple movie.'
