In response, Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Kim Soo-young) has stepped up to further activate the ‘Kind Consumption Campaign’ to support small business owners' financial difficulties and revitalize the local economy by participating in kind consumption using the ‘Government Emergency Disaster Relief Fund.’

As the first step, on the 14th, Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, visited a local mart and purchased daily necessities such as toilet paper with the government emergency disaster relief fund, delivering them to the Yangcheon Food Bank Market to be used for neighbors in need, showing participation in kind consumption.

Mayor Kim also announced plans to use twice the amount of the 600,000 KRW government emergency disaster relief fund he received?1,200,000 KRW?for kind consumption by visiting local favorite stores such as traditional markets, hair salons, and restaurants and prepaying for services to support small business owners.

Yangcheon-gu plans to share the kind consumption success stories through SNS (blogs, Facebook) with more local residents, encouraging and promoting voluntary participation influenced by these stories.

Since starting the ‘Kind Consumption Campaign’ on March 23, Yangcheon-gu, led by Mayor Kim Soo-young along with like-minded local residents, various professional organization leaders, and volunteer club members, has been a great support to small business owners in the district through the voluntary participation of citizens from all walks of life.

Moreover, it has been recognized as an excellent case, receiving inquiries from many media outlets and local governments, creating a butterfly effect and spreading nationwide.

Mayor Kim Soo-young of Yangcheon-gu said, “Since the start of the Kind Consumption Campaign, I have been amazed once again by the power of positive influence, seeing citizens voluntarily participating to help even in small ways. I hope to spread the kind consumption atmosphere once again with the emergency disaster relief fund and help local small business owners overcome the difficult situation caused by COVID-19 together.”
