[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The spring spirit has blossomed in Hwajeong 1-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

On the 9th, according to Seo-gu, members of the Hwajeong 1-dong autonomous organizations planted spring flowers along major arterial roads such as Sangmu-daero and carried out large-scale cleanup activities including waste disposal.

About 30 members from six organizations, including the Residents' Autonomy Committee, the Security Council, the Saemaul Association and Women's Association, the Tongjang Group, and the Saemaul Library members, participated together in this cleanup activity.

The members worked together to create a pleasant village environment by planting spring flowers such as pansies along a 1 km section of Sangmu-daero.

Along with planting spring flowers, they collected 1.5 tons of waste left in areas vulnerable to illegal dumping and also removed illegally hung banners in the alleyways.

The participants carefully followed quarantine rules such as wearing masks according to the COVID-19 situation and divided into 10 teams to carry out the work.

Park Kyungwon, chairman of the Hwajeong 1-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee, said, "We planted spring flowers and cleaned up accumulated trash and grime from the winter with the hope of revitalizing the tired bodies and minds due to COVID-19," and added, "I sincerely thank the village residents who participated despite their busy schedules."
