[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongju City announced on the 4th that Mayor Ju Nak-yeong participated in the 'Province-wide Neighbor Love Happiness Sharing Campaign' by donating his entire first salary of the year to the Community Chest of Korea.


The 'Province-wide Neighbor Love Happiness Sharing Campaign' is a movement to inherit the culture of Gyeongbuk, which has demonstrated harmony and a spirit of sacrifice, as part of the comprehensive Gyeongbuk-style livelihood revival measures.


Starting with Mayor Ju Nak-yeong's full donation of his first salary of the new year, Gyeongju City explained that a voluntary fundraising campaign by about 1,700 Gyeongju city officials will continue until before the Lunar New Year holiday.


In March of last year, Mayor Ju also donated 10 million won to the Community Chest of Korea to help overcome COVID-19, and Gyeongju city officials collectively raised about 50 million won in donations.



Mayor Ju Nak-yeong said, "Although the Lunar New Year holiday is approaching, my heart is uneasy when I think of neighbors suffering due to COVID-19," and urged, "I hope everyone will join together to create a great wave of sharing through small acts of kindness."
