"Unfilial Children Will Come," Damyang-gun YouTube's Unique Lunar New Year Video Draws Attention

Production of a Cheerful Non-Face-to-Face Lunar New Year Video 'A Letter from Gohyang'

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do, has attracted attention by producing a warm non-face-to-face video for the Lunar New Year holiday.

On the 8th, Damyang-gun released a video on YouTube with the intention of "delivering warm hearts" to residents and visitors who feel disappointed because they cannot spend the holiday as usual due to COVID-19.

This video was produced as a social distancing campaign in accordance with government guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as refraining from travel during the Lunar New Year holiday and banning gatherings of five or more people. It was filmed while strictly adhering to quarantine rules such as "keeping a distance of more than 2 meters" and "prohibiting gatherings of five or more people."

In particular, the video features Damyang-gun village residents themselves, produced in the form of "letters from hometown" sent to their children, family, and relatives, delivering a message of hope so that everyone can have a warm holiday amid the difficult situation where minds and bodies are exhausted due to COVID-19.

An official from the county said, "The sincere voices of residents who are not familiar with video shooting came together to create a warm atmosphere even during the difficult times of COVID-19," and added, "The video, which shows parents in their hometown worrying about their children and asking them not to come first, is receiving favorable reviews."

Meanwhile, the video can be viewed on Damyang-gun’s official YouTube channel (Damyang Travel·DAM YANG).
