Gwangju Gwangsan-gu Installs 'Samak Yeowoo Secret Mailbox' at 1913 Songjeong Station Market
Desert Fox Mailbox - Youth Communication Channel... Write a Letter, Get a Reply
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 3rd that it has installed the ‘Desert Fox Secret Mailbox’ for sending letters with worries and consultations at the 1913 Songjeong Station Market Plaza.
The Desert Fox Secret Mailbox is a public cultural arts project where young people who have worries or stories they want to share anonymously or under a nickname write letters and send them online or offline, and volunteer citizens in their 20s and 30s reply.
During the 7th local government term, Gwangsan-gu has supported a better life for young people through various youth vitality projects such as ‘Youth Residential Independence Share House’ supporting youth housing independence, ‘Youth-Physical Fitness Center’ supporting exercise, and ‘Youth-Lounge’ supporting meetings and activities.
This mailbox installation was prepared as part of emotional support in that context.
The mailbox at 1913 Songjeong Station Market was installed by the (Corporation) Youth Culture Hub, which was selected in the youth emotional psychological support category of the Gwangsan-gu Youth Vitality Project contest.
In a social trend where the number of young people complaining of depression, headaches, chronic fatigue, and social phobia is increasing, the existing mailboxes operated by the Youth Culture Hub in two locations in Gwangju have been recognized as emotional mediators delivering empathy and comfort to both the citizens who write letters and those who reply.
Gwangsan-gu expects that the mailbox at 1913 Songjeong Station Market will also serve as a channel connecting young people with society and solving individual problems together with society.
