[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Broadcasters Song Eun-i and Kim Sook are practicing meaningful knowledge sharing with Professor Seo Kyung-duk of Sungshin Women's University.

On the 5th, Song Eun-i and Kim Sook posted four card news slides related to 'Seomgirincho' created by Professor Seo Kyung-duk on their SNS to commemorate Arbor Day.

Professor Seo said, "Every year on Arbor Day, I have held an event with famous figures from various fields to distribute Seomgirincho flowerpots for free on Myeongdong Street in Seoul," adding, "This year, due to COVID-19, it was replaced with online knowledge sharing."

In his following statement, he said, "On this Arbor Day, I wanted to contribute even a little to protecting Dokdo's 'biological sovereignty' by sharing 'Seomgirincho,' a representative plant of Dokdo, with netizens."

Song Eun-i and Kim Sook also expressed, "We are pleased to participate in this meaningful campaign about Dokdo, and we will continue to do our best to practice ongoing love for Dokdo."

Seomgirincho is a native Korean plant that grows only on Ulleungdo and Dokdo. It is especially distributed along the entire coastline of Ulleungdo.

The 'Dokdo Knowledge Campaign' they are participating in is a campaign that distributes basic knowledge about Dokdo in the form of card news on SNS so that the public can easily access it.
