[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) announced on the 22nd that Changbo General Construction (Chairman Maeng Jin-ho) and the Dongdaemun-gu Medical Association (Chairman Lee Tae-yeon) delivered bags of rice as an act of love to help neighbors struggling with the dual hardships of COVID-19 and the cold wave.

At 3 p.m. that day, a rice delivery ceremony took place in the mayor’s office, attended by Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, Maeng Jin-ho, CEO of Changbo General Construction, and two related officials, where 5,000 kg of rice (equivalent to 14.5 million KRW) was handed over.

With this, Changbo General Construction has donated a total of about 40 million KRW worth of rice to Dongdaemun-gu since 2019.

The Dongdaemun-gu Medical Association also extended their warm support.

At 5:30 p.m. that day, Lee Tae-yeon, Chairman of the Dongdaemun-gu Medical Association, and Park Hyun-sun, Secretary-General, visited Dongdaemun-gu Office and delivered 1,000 kg of rice (equivalent to 3 million KRW), asking that it be used where needed so that neighbors in difficulty can have a warm winter.

Every year, the Dongdaemun-gu Medical Association not only donates love rice, neighbor-helping funds, and scholarships but also actively practices community service. For example, when a COVID-19 cluster infection occurred at a local PC bang in March, seven volunteer members of the association voluntarily participated in large-scale testing of about 600 people, taking the lead in preventing the spread of COVID-19.

Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “Despite the difficult times due to COVID-19, I am grateful for the warm hearts of Changbo General Construction and the Dongdaemun-gu Medical Association who shared their compassion for neighbors in need. We will ensure that the delivered rice is properly distributed to those who need help.”
