[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) announced on the 9th that it received a total of 100,000 masks as donations for the ‘2021 Hope Ondol Warm Winter Campaign’ from comedian Kim Si-deok and Jungnang-gu sewing company Seongjin Sangsa (CEO Kim Dong-seok).

The donated masks are worth a total of 7 million KRW, with comedian Kim Si-deok purchasing masks worth 2.2 million KRW from ‘Seongjin Sangsa,’ and Seongjin Sangsa additionally sponsoring masks worth 4.8 million KRW.

The district delivered these masks to social welfare organizations within the region so that those in need could use them.

The connection with Kim Si-deok began last December when he appeared in the Manguri Park promotional video ‘Our Manguri.’ When Kim Si-deok earned his first advertising revenue on his YouTube channel, he contacted the district to use it meaningfully. The district then introduced a local sewing company struggling due to COVID-19. Related videos can be viewed on the YouTube channels ‘Jungnang-gu Office’ and ‘Sideok Tube.’

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “We thank Kim Si-deok and Seongjin Sangsa for practicing good influence during difficult times,” and added, “Jungnang-gu will continue to do its best to spread a culture of sharing within the community.”

Meanwhile, the fashion sewing industry accounts for 73% of manufacturing in Jungnang-gu and is a representative industry of the district. In 2019, the district was selected as the ‘Myeonmok Fashion (Sewing) Special Development Promotion Zone’ and is actively promoting the growth of the fashion sewing industry by constructing the Jungnang Fashion Support Center (Smart Anchor), a building with four underground floors and seven above-ground floors (total floor area 8,349㎡).
