[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon) held the ‘25th Geumcheon Residents' Day’ ceremony on the 15th at 4 p.m. at the Geumnarae Art Hall performance hall to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

This ceremony was held as a small-scale event with about 50 participants, including Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon, members of the National Assembly, city and district council members, and awardees, without inviting residents to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

During the event, awards were presented to Geumcheon residents and businesspeople who contributed to regional development, the vision for Geumcheon Future Cultural City was announced, and a video message from residents expressing hopes to overcome COVID-19 was screened.

At the end of the event, a commemorative tree planting ceremony for the 25th anniversary of the district’s establishment was held. Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon and city and district council members planted a crape myrtle tree in the lawn plaza in front of the district office and read the commemorative plaque to mark the 25th anniversary of Geumcheon-gu’s establishment.

To soothe the disappointment of residents who could not attend the ceremony due to the COVID-19 situation, the district broadcast the ceremony live on Facebook Live.

Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon of Geumcheon-gu said, “On this meaningful day marking the twenty-fifth birthday, I regret that we can only meet the main participants of this event, the residents, online due to COVID-19,” and added, “Just as the residents have led Geumcheon for the past 25 years, I will never forget that the residents are the owners of Geumcheon-gu and will tirelessly work to create a happy city in every neighborhood.”
