President Yoon Suk Yeol and first lady Kim Keon Hee sent Chuseok gifts to Rep. Lee Sung-yoon, which prompted some opposition party lawmakers to reject the gifts and express their disapproval on social media. Rep. Kim Joon-hyung returned the unopened gift, criticizing the administration and emphasizing that he had explicitly stated his refusal to receive such gifts. He urged the president to prioritize the welfare of the people instead of sending unwanted regional gifts. The Chuseok gifts, typically comprising regional specialty products, were sent by the president and first lady and included traditional liquor, apple red pepper paste, pear jam, onion jam, and a cosmetics set. Rep. Lee Sung-yoon also expressed his rejection of the gift on Facebook, questioning why the gifts were being sent despite his clear disinterest. Similarly, Jeong Hye-kyeong of the Progressive Party refused the gift and criticized the president for sending it while neglecting the parliament's opening ceremony.
