President Lee Jae-myung on the 1st encouraged Ministry of Planning and Budget officials who prepared a supplementary budget bill to respond to the Middle East situation, saying, "You really worked hard."
On this day, Lee attached a news article to his X (formerly Twitter) post reporting that Ministry of Planning and Budget officials worked to the point of having nosebleeds and produced the supplementary budget bill in a short period.
Lee said, "Because it was such an urgent situation, I gave instructions to rush the early drafting of the supplementary budget, and you did an excellent job even to the point of getting nosebleeds," adding, "I will make sure you are compensated for those nosebleeds. If you need anything, please tell me through Minister Park Hong-geun."
He added, "I am sorry, grateful, and love you."
