[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) will provide disaster relief funds of 1 million KRW per karaoke practice room for 262 establishments and 2 million KRW per facility for 270 churches in the district that actively participated in the government's social distancing measures due to COVID-19, with payments to be made collectively on the 30th.

This measure aims to alleviate the difficulties faced by karaoke practice rooms, including coin karaoke rooms, which have suffered economic damage due to prolonged closures, and to revitalize the local economy. The total disaster relief funds to be distributed to 532 locations, including churches in the district, amount to 802 million KRW.

The support funds will be provided only to karaoke practice rooms that are operating after business registration, and churches will use the funds to purchase quarantine supplies or support non-face-to-face worship activities.

Applications for the support funds can be submitted from the 19th to the 23rd via email (cjsdnwls@gangnam.go.kr) or by visiting the district office’s Culture and Sports Department with the required documents. Detailed information can be found on the Gangnam-gu district office website.

Kim Yong-man, head of the Culture and Sports Department, stated, “Disaster relief funds will be voluntarily donated by large churches, which have relatively stable financial scales compared to small and medium-sized churches,” and added, “We hope that everyone will continue to actively participate in quarantine activities for the local community by demonstrating the ‘Mimiwi spirit’ of cooperation, consideration, and respect.”
