[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jongno-gu (Mayor Kim Young-jong) is promoting the 'Jongno Happiness Mailbox' to discover cases of happiness and encourage residents to practice happiness, thereby creating a warm Jongno.

The 'Jongno Happiness Mailbox' is a program that seeks answers to what happiness is and how to live happily by sharing special stories of Jongno residents found in their ordinary daily lives.

Participants can share warm and interesting happiness stories they want to inform their neighbors about, in various forms such as ▲cases of practicing happiness ▲photos or videos containing their own or neighbors' happy stories ▲their own happiness discourse or happiness quotes.

The cases and stories should be written in about half an A4 page, and photos should be submitted with descriptions, up to two photos. Happiness discourse and quotes can be written in free format within three sentences.

Any resident living daily life in Jongno can participate in the 'Jongno Happiness Mailbox.' They can download the application form from the integrated application section under general civil affairs on the Jongno-gu website (www.jongno.go.kr) and submit it via ▲the district website ▲email (cmh3308@mail.jongno.go.kr) ▲visit or mail (Jongno-gu Office Health City Division, 406 Ima Building, 42 Jongno 1-gil, Jongno-gu).

The district will select excellent works every month and provide gift certificates or souvenirs, and publish them on the district website, district newsletter (Jongno Love), and happiness casebook.
