[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Chonnam National University announced on the 16th that Vice President Lee Woo-beom participated in the "Thank You #EssentialWorkers" campaign on the 14th.

On that day, Vice President Lee held a sign with the slogan "Thank You #EssentialWorkers - Chonnam National University is with you" and took part in the campaign.

He said, "COVID-19 has caused enormous disruptions not only to education but also to the economy and social activities, but daily life is possible thanks to essential workers," adding, "Attention to them is necessary."

Vice President Lee participated in this campaign upon the recommendation of Yeosu City Council member Go Yong-jin, and he nominated National Assembly member Kim Hoe-jae, Director Lee Sang-hoon of the National Youth Space Center, and Dean Kim Tae-ho of Chonnam National University's College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences as the next participants.

The person nominated as the next participant should hold a sign with a slogan demanding the improvement of essential workers' labor conditions, take a photo, upload it on SNS, and nominate the next target to continue the campaign.
