Kim Sun-ho, Gurye County Governor, Joins Movement to Return 30% of Salary

30% Salary Return for 4 Months to Share COVID-19 Burden

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Mi-seok] Kim Sun-ho, the governor of Gurye County, announced on the 1st that he will donate 30% of his salary from April to July, a period of four months, to the Jeollanam-do Social Welfare Community Chest to share the pain caused by the spread of COVID-19.

As the prolonged COVID-19 situation has led to a contraction in local economic activities and all local residents, including small business owners, are going through difficult times, 21 mayors and county governors of the Jeonnam Mayors and Governors Council decided in March to participate in a salary return campaign.

Governor Kim also willingly returned 30% of his salary from April to July to join the nationwide good deed relay.

Governor Kim Sun-ho said, “I joined the salary return campaign to share the pain of the residents who are suffering due to COVID-19,” and added, “I hope my small sharing will help stabilize the lives of the residents even a little.”

Meanwhile, Gurye County continues to carry out proactive prevention and surveillance activities in response to COVID-19.
