[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] "Because of COVID-19, it seems this spring will pass without even seeing the cherry blossoms once..."


With the prolonged social distancing due to COVID-19, many people are expressing feelings of depression. A new term, "Corona Blue," combining the words coronavirus and blue (meaning sadness), has even emerged.


Amid the flood of disaster alerts, spring has quickly arrived and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, but residents lament that they cannot comfortably go outside to see the blossoms and worry that spring will pass without seeing them. In response, Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Kim Soo-young) has taken action.


The district produced a "Virtual Cherry Blossom Viewing" video that feels like walking along the Anyangcheon cherry blossom path, and uploaded it on April 16 to the official Yangcheon-gu YouTube channel, "Yangcheon TV."


The Anyangcheon cherry blossom path is a representative spring flower spot in Yangcheon-gu where the cherry blossoms bloom spectacularly around this time every year. The video was filmed with a drone camera capturing the cherry blossom tunnel from Sinjeonggyo Bridge to Omokgyo Bridge, showing various angles from eye level to aerial views, capturing the full bloom of spring flowers.


Therefore, even from home, viewers can feel as if they are actually out enjoying the cherry blossoms.



Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, "We produced this video hoping that residents tired from Corona Blue can heal by seeing the blooming cherry blossoms," adding, "I hope the hopeful spring energy is delivered to the citizens of Yangcheon-gu who are practicing social distancing."
