In a post on Facebook that day, President Lee stated, "In celebration of the 81st Arbor Day, I planted new life at the residence and the Blue House—cherry and peach trees."

President Lee remarked, "Our mountains and fields, once devastated by war and poverty, have been revived through the hands of the people. Thanks to the care devoted to planting each and every tree, over 8 billion trees have now grown throughout the nation, and as a result, our land is once again filled with vibrant life."

Regarding the trees planted this time, he wrote, "Although they are still small saplings, with the addition of warm spring sunlight, they will soon bloom and bear abundant fruit—just like the trees the people of our nation have nurtured with such care."

President Lee added, "The Republic of Korea is a country with the resilience to always overcome adversity and create hope. Just as new buds sprout and flowers bloom in spring after the harsh winter, I will do my utmost as president so that the spirit of hope may once again spread widely across this land."
