[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] The Seongbuk-gu Apartment Residents' Representatives Association (hereinafter Seong-A-Yeon, President Son Seong-ho) donated 1 million won to Seongbuk-gu to support self-employed individuals and struggling households whose livelihoods have been threatened by COVID-19.

Seong-A-Yeon, composed of current and former chairpersons of residents' representative meetings from over 100 apartments in Seongbuk-gu, raised funds at the end of last year to help neighbors in need. After considering where to donate, they decided to deliver the funds to Seongbuk-gu Office to assist neighbors facing difficulties due to COVID-19.

Son Seong-ho, President of Seong-A-Yeon, said, "Many people around us are experiencing hardships due to COVID-19. I hope that the donation, made with the spirit of supporting each other to overcome COVID-19, will be of some help to our neighbors."

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, stated, "We are grateful for the sincere generosity shown by the Seongbuk-gu Apartment Residents' Representatives Association for residents in the community who have unexpectedly faced economic difficulties due to COVID-19. I hope COVID-19 will end soon so that we can visit apartment residents at community activity sites."

Seongbuk-gu has distributed disinfectants for multi-use facilities in local apartment complexes, hand sanitizers for elevators, and produced antibacterial films as part of COVID-19 prevention efforts. Apartments are also actively participating in the 'Social Distancing Campaign' to overcome the COVID-19 crisis by holding residents' representative meetings in writing and restricting the use of multi-use facilities.
