Gyeongju City's Gateway 'Completely Transformed'... Saenghwal Gaeseonhoe Sweats Daily on Environmental Cleanup

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Local volunteer groups are actively participating in environmental improvement work along the main roads of Gyeongju-si, Gyeongbuk, known as a 'tourist city.' Volunteer members are voluntarily rolling up their sleeves in response to the decline in tourists due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

According to Gyeongju City on the 2nd, about 20 members of the Hwangnam-dong Life Improvement Association wore light pink vests from early morning on the 1st and 2nd, working in groups along Geumseong-ro, the gateway road into downtown Gyeongju, sweating profusely as they carried out weeding and environmental maintenance.

Kim Ok-ran, president of the Life Improvement Association, said, "We feel a sense of accomplishment in maintaining Geumseong-ro, the gateway into Gyeongju, with our members' own hands, giving a neat impression to citizens and tourists."

Go Nam-woo, head of Hwangnam-dong, expressed, "We sincerely appreciate the valuable volunteer work of the Life Improvement Association, which is like a timely rain during a period when not only the economy has been depressed due to COVID-19 but volunteer activities have also been scarce," adding, "We hope that today's valuable sweat will serve as a catalyst to spark a boom in volunteer activities."
