[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Gimhae City announced on the 31st that the Gimhae Youth Center, operated by the Welfare Foundation, held a 'Love Online Concert' for the elderly hospitalized at the Gimhae Veterans Nursing Home.

The concert, hosted by the 17th Youth Operating Committee of the Gimhae Youth Center, was conducted non-face-to-face with 43 youths and 50 elderly people each in separate spaces to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Youths prepared performances after receiving song requests from the elderly in advance, and then showed them to the nursing home elderly through video media.

Park Myung-ah, director of the Gimhae Youth Center, said, "I am grateful to the Youth Operating Committee for preparing a non-face-to-face performance for the elderly in a situation more difficult than ever due to COVID-19," adding, "In line with the post-COVID-19 era, our center will promote future projects using various non-face-to-face methods."
