[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jae-hee] Employees of the Iksan City Sports Council in Jeonbuk are giving a quiet inspiration by pooling part of their salaries to help affiliated coaches who are struggling due to COVID-19.
According to the City Sports Council on the 1st, employees including Secretary General Joo Yoo-seon donated funds in the form of local gift certificates to eight affiliated coaches whose salaries were cut or unpaid due to COVID-19.

Additionally, Jang-hee Jo, president of the Sports Council, and director Kyung-soo Kim donated their entire disaster relief funds of 1 million won and 800,000 won, respectively.
