"New Community Model Overcoming COVID-19" City Selects 7 Outstanding Apartment Complexes

Seongbuk-gu Wolgok Raemian Luna Valley Wins Grand Prize in 2020 Apartment Community Revitalization Contest

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 10th that Wolgok Raemian Luna Valley Apartment in Seongbuk-gu won the grand prize in the '2020 Apartment Community Revitalization Contest.'

This project was conducted as a replacement for the existing apartment complex festival to prepare for the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and to share excellent community cases.

Among the 298 complexes participating in the apartment community revitalization contest, seven complexes were selected as presentation complexes through district recommendations and Seoul city judges' evaluation (first document screening). The award details were decided at the 2020 Apartment Community Revitalization Best Practices Presentation held on the 12th of last month.

Wolgok Raemian Luna Valley, the grand prize-winning complex, is a 13-year-old apartment complex that has been steadily participating in the apartment community revitalization project since 2016, centered around the community group 'Dananumhoe.' Every year, under the theme of 'Wolgok Raemian Luna Valley with Sharing, Communication, and Giving,' they engage in community activities such as DIY workshops, side dish sharing, Luna Valley Film Festival, the opening of the Moonlight Friends Library, and table tennis classes. Following last year's gold prize, they received the grand prize this year.

This year, due to COVID-19, various activities were introduced in a non-face-to-face manner, including shared meal activities (Wolgok Raemian Luna Valley, Seongbuk-gu), eco-friendly mask-making kit provision (Wangsimni Xi, Seongdong-gu), balcony concerts (Bukhansan Hillstate Phase 1, Eunpyeong-gu), songpyeon making (Wangsimni KCC Switzen, Seongdong-gu), visiting samgyetang day (Sindang Namsan Town, Jung-gu), dementia prevention paper folding (Cheongnyangni Hanshin Phase 1, Dongdaemun-gu), and green village cultivation (Banghwa Gaehwa, Gangseo-gu).

Kim Seongbo, head of the Housing and Architecture Headquarters of Seoul City, said, "This year's apartment community revitalization contest was able to enhance community values by enabling residents to communicate and share through the 'untact (non-face-to-face)' method. We hope that the excellent cases of each complex will spread and that community values will shine even amid the COVID-19 situation."
