[Asia Economy, Reporter Park Jongil] Seocho District (District Mayor Cho Eunhee) will launch two new projects on the Seocho District Office YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/SeochoCity) to help soothe the fatigue and anxiety experienced during the strict social distancing measures related to COVID-19, as the district transitions to the “Distancing in Daily Life” phase scheduled to begin on May 6, 2020.

The first project is the “Seocho Serenity Project,” designed to bring peace of mind and comfort to residents. Popular courses from the Seocho Lifelong Learning Center and the Father Center have been selected and will be provided as online videos. The available programs include the Father Center’s popular courses: ▲Baduanjin Training and ▲Dad Is the Best Chef!

“Baduanjin Training” is a lifestyle exercise class that helps maintain health through consistent practice of eight simple qigong movements combined with breathing. The class is led by instructor Sunmu Lee Gilwoo and is currently available on the YouTube channel.

“Dad Is the Best Chef!” is a cooking class for fathers, hosted by Seo Misoon, director of the Deep Mountain Spring Ongdalsem Food Research Institute. This course offers fathers the opportunity to learn unique recipes, enabling them to easily prepare wonderful meals for their families at home.

In addition, the district will offer “Coding Education Through Making,” a program newly launched this year at the Seocho Lifelong Learning Center, which provides online lectures that can be directly applied to everyday life.

Among these, the courses ▲Making a Plant Watering Alarm and ▲Making a Cloud Lamp will be uploaded as videos in sequence.

“Making a Plant Watering Alarm” is a lecture where participants learn how to use coding sensors to check moisture levels and supply water. The course teaches how to smartly manage potted plants using coding.

“Making a Cloud Lamp” is a class that utilizes coding and Arduino to check air pollution information from the Public Data Forum and creates a lamp that changes the color of the cloud according to pollution levels.

In addition, other healing and practical content will be produced as videos and distributed through the Seocho District Office YouTube channel and related institution band platforms.

The second project is the online exercise initiative “Smart Taekwondo Life in Seocho District,” targeting children and adolescents to help overcome lethargy caused by lack of exercise and decreased immunity, in collaboration with the Seocho District Taekwondo Association.

Instructors from the Seocho District Taekwondo Demonstration Team will directly participate in planning and producing the content. Videos, each about five minutes long, will be produced one to two times a week and continuously provided until the COVID-19 situation stabilizes.

The main content includes ▲simple stretching exercises that can be done in small spaces, ▲basic Taekwondo movements and stances, ▲fitness management exercises to improve basic physical strength, and ▲Taekwondo-based dance routines, allowing anyone, regardless of age, gender, or skill level, to enjoy the program.

In particular, special exercise management methods will be introduced for children and adolescents whose training has been interrupted due to Taekwondo studio closures, helping them maintain their physical skills.

Additionally, the district plans to monitor viewer feedback and actively incorporate it into subsequent videos, providing an interactive, two-way communication service to increase participation.

Seocho District Mayor Cho Eunhee stated, “By providing a variety of unique online content to help soothe the fatigue caused by nearly a month of continuous social distancing, we will do our utmost to fully support residents and help them maintain their health as they overcome COVID-19.”
