President Lee Visits Marine Corps Yeonpyeong Unit… 'Hits 10 Out of 10 Shots' [D-Report]

A military vehicle carrying President Lee Jae-myung arrives at the Marine Corps Yeonpyeong Unit, where soldiers in Marine uniforms greet him.

[Marine Corps Soldiers: We love you, Mr. President!]

In observance of the Month of Patriots and Veterans, President Lee visited the Marine Corps Yeonpyeong Unit in Ongjin-gun, Incheon, this morning.

President Lee inspected military equipment alongside Minister of National Defense Ahn Gyu-back and National Security Office Director Wi Sung-lac.

[President Lee Jae-myung: Does that mean there are four rounds loaded and six rounds in reserve? (Yes, that is correct.)]

He also boarded a K9A1 self-propelled howitzer.

During a luncheon meeting, President Lee promised the soldiers his full support.

[President Lee Jae-myung: It is my firm belief that those who make special sacrifices, like you, should receive special compensation to ensure fairness.]

He emphasized that the strongest foundation for national security is peace and pledged to reorganize the military into a future-oriented force.

President Lee further stated that he would minimize conscription and expand a selective volunteer military system so that individuals can choose the military as a career.

[President Lee Jae-myung: A volunteer military naturally requires professional roles, and by serving in these roles, one will be able to utilize that experience effectively even after returning to civilian life...]

Promising that time spent in the military would not be wasted, he also committed to the advancement of military technology and the improvement of barracks environments.

Later, at the shooting range, President Lee participated in a firing exercise with a K2 rifle and a K15 light machine gun. He surprised those present by hitting the target with all 10 live rounds fired from the K2 rifle.
