'Online Jump Rope Challenge'... Challenge Jongno Ssangssaengi King

From 20th to 27th, 'Jongno Ssangssaengi King Selection Contest' Held... Jump Rope Activity for All Ages to Promote Residents' Physical and Mental Health... First 300 Participants Must Be Jongno Residents or Work in the Area

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jongno-gu (Mayor Kim Young-jong) is promoting the 2021 Online Jump Rope Challenge ‘Jongno Ssangssaengi King Selection Contest’ from the 20th to the 27th and is currently recruiting participants.

As social distancing continues due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the number of people experiencing depression is increasing.

Also, due to difficulties in using multi-purpose sports facilities, there is a growing trend of people exercising outdoors individually or doing home training alone at home.

Accordingly, Jongno-gu has prepared this online challenge again this year to promote residents’ physical and mental health by using jump rope, which anyone regardless of age or gender can easily do.

The participants are limited to the first 300 people who are either residents of Jongno-gu or whose workplace is located within the district.

If you wish to participate, you can fill out the application form by the 16th and submit it via email to the person in charge (khc0805@seoul.go.kr) or apply online directly through the Jongno-gu Office website.

The challenge participation procedure is as follows: after applying, visit the nearest community service center or Jongno-gu Sports Council to receive a jump rope, record a video of a double-under jump rope challenge up to 1 minute long, and post it on your personal Instagram or send it to the person in charge.

All video participants will receive a gifticon, and the person with the highest number of successful double-under jumps will be selected as the ‘2nd Jongno Ssangssaengi King.’

Attention is focused on whether a new record surpassing the 125 double-under jumps held by last year’s 1st Jongno Ssangssaengi King can be set.

For more details about this contest, please refer to the district office website or contact the Health City Division or Jongno-gu Sports Council.
