[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Kim Kyung-hyun, a member of the Muan County Council, has been consistently participating in early morning cleaning activities on the first week of every month, serving as a role model for the local community.


In the early dawn hours, Councilor Kim cleaned the most challenging areas, visiting Namaek with the determination to keep his promise to the residents and picking up trash alongside sanitation workers.


On this day, Councilor Kim and the sanitation workers worked hard despite the hot weather, doing their best to clean up the trash that had accumulated after the rainy season to prevent inconvenience to the residents.


Sanitation worker A said, “I was quietly moved by seeing him volunteer despite his busy legislative activities.”



Councilor Kim Kyung-hyun said, “I do not consider it volunteering; the morning cleaning activity was a precious time that reminded me of the value of sweat,” and added, “I am grateful for the hard work of the sanitation workers who silently do their best to create a pleasant urban environment for citizens under difficult conditions.”
