[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] “We live in various ways / Sometimes alone, sometimes with someone / Within that, we can feel / For someone, peace of mind / For someone, excitement of the heart / For someone, happiness of the heart / When you want to give yourself a special gift for just one day / Here in Yongsan”

This is a phrase appearing in the grand prize-winning work of the 2020 Yongsan-gu SNS video contest, One Day in Yongsan.

Yongsan-gu (Mayor Seong Jang-hyun) announced the winners (8 works) of the ‘Enjoying One Day in Yongsan’ video contest through the district’s social networking service (SNS).

The grand prize went to Prism (Kim Kwang-seop, Kim Dong-seop, Jung Hye-jin) for ‘One Day in Yongsan.’ The video introduced outings of ‘Shining Solo,’ ‘Heart-throbbing Couple,’ and ‘Sweet Family’ against the backgrounds of Haebangchon, Hangangro-dong Ttaengttaeng Street, N Seoul Tower, Sowol-gil, and Yongsan Family Park. The judges praised the work for its stylish video, well-structured composition, and poetic phrases.

The excellence awards went to Man-yuk (Kim Je-hwang, Shin Min-woo, Kim Ga-young, Shin Sang-yong, Baek Sang-hyun, Kim Yoon-han, Jang Yeon-ho) for ‘Falling in Yongsan’ and Kim Gyu-jung and three others (Kwak Hyung-wook, Kim Da-som, Kim Si-won) for ‘Yongsan in Holiday.’

Falling in Yongsan features a man introducing Yongsan date courses while talking on the phone with a friend. It covers local attractions from Hangang Park to Yongsan Park, Hannam-dong cafe street, Itaewon global food street, Itaewon Bugundang History Park, and Namsan night view.

The closing line, “Hey, you can enjoy Yongsan too,” is impressive.

Yongsan in Holiday starts from Yongsan Station. It introduces the journey of four friends passing through the War Memorial, Haebangchon, Sinheung Market, 108 Stairs, and Namsan.

Other encouragement awards went to ▲ Autumn Yongsan Outing, Want to Enjoy Together? (Kim Eun-ah, Kim Seung-su) ▲ Enjoy Yongsan with 20,000 Won (Jeon Hye-kyung, Kim Min-ji) ▲ I’ll Show You the Real Charm of Yongsan-gu! (Kim Hyo-jae) ▲ Every Place in Yongsan Becomes a Travel Destination (Hwang Yoo-jung, Kim Seul-gi, Bae Jun-hee, Han Soo-yoon) ▲ Today, Yongsan (Koo Seul-gi).

The district held the contest from September to November, receiving 50 entries. Winners were selected through internal screening by the district’s public relations office (1st round), employee preference survey (2nd round), and judging committee evaluation (3rd round). Winners received up to 1 million KRW in prize money (gift certificates) and certificates.

Seong Jang-hyun, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, said, “All the winning works were created by young people in their 20s and 30s,” and added, “All eight works have been uploaded to the district office’s YouTube channel, so we hope many citizens will show interest and watch them.”
