[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dongjin Lee) held the ‘2021 Dobong-gu Online New Year's Greeting Meeting’ on January 29th at Seoninbong Hall on the 2nd floor of the district office to share the vision of district administration with residents for the Year of the Ox 2021.

The New Year's greeting meeting, broadcast live in real-time through Dobong-gu’s official YouTube channel ‘Dobongbong TV,’ began with pre-recorded performances by the Dobong-gu Children’s Choir and local vocalists. It then provided an interactive session where over 500 residents participated via Zoom to ask questions and engage in direct communication.

During the meeting, residents raised questions regarding ▲ways to overcome COVID-19 blues ▲current responses to child abuse in Dobong-gu ▲development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure ▲efforts toward achieving a carbon-zero society, among other topics.

Mayor Dongjin Lee of Dobong-gu said, “This year, due to COVID-19, we had no choice but to hold the New Year's greeting meeting online, but it seems positive that more residents than usual could easily participate and share their opinions. For over ten years, with the love of our residents, we have sown seeds of hope in Dobong-gu, once called the outskirts of Seoul. Now, we are seeing those seeds sprout. Please stay with us until these sprouts grow well, bloom, and bear fruit.”
