[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su, photo) announced that starting from the 14th, for seven weeks, it will hold the 'Mayor’s On-site Commendation Ceremony for Meritorious Residents' to meet with local residents who have served and dedicated themselves to Songpa.

The district selects residents who have contributed to the development of the local community every month and awards them with commendations for meritorious residents.

This ceremony was planned in a simplified manner due to COVID-19, with the mayor personally visiting the community service centers to express gratitude to residents who have contributed to the development of the district.

The October commendations will be awarded to a total of 25 residents, including Mr. Im Il-taek, who made efforts to revitalize local commercial districts and took the lead in disinfection; Ms. Son Hye-sook, who devotedly cared for her mother with dementia and contributed to spreading filial piety culture; Ms. Hong Seong-ran, who identified and supported vulnerable groups experiencing care gaps due to COVID-19; and Mr. Gil Dong-seong, who played a leading role in traffic safety campaigns and contributed to establishing a traffic safety network in the area.

In particular, through this ceremony, the district plans to personally visit and express gratitude to many meritorious residents, including local organizations and parent volunteer groups that generously support local disinfection efforts, store owners running sharing projects for the underprivileged, and special lecture talent donation instructors in our neighborhood.

Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, “To eliminate the inconvenience of residents having to visit the district office to receive commendations and to directly check local issues, we prepared the ‘On-site Commendation Ceremony for Meritorious Residents.’ We will continue to actively cooperate with residents to overcome difficult times and strive for the development of Songpa-gu.”
