[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongan Church (Senior Pastor Hyungjun Kim) in Imun-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, donated 3,225 Joy Sharing Boxes (worth 30,000 KRW each, totaling about 96 million KRW) to Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Deokyeol Yoo) at 10 a.m. on the 9th.


Due to COVID-19, the Joy Sharing Boxes were distributed to Dongdaemun-gu in the morning without a delivery ceremony.


Starting from the 12th, Dongdaemun-gu employees who have formed partnerships with underprivileged groups will deliver the Joy Sharing Boxes to the partnered recipients.


Dongan Church has been holding the Easter Joy Sharing event for 15 years to support the underprivileged in the local community. About 8,000 members of Dongan Church prepare the Joy Sharing Boxes with daily necessities they purchase themselves over about a month until Easter on April 4th, practicing sharing.


The Joy Sharing Boxes consist of items worth about 30,000 KRW, including canned goods, curry, and sauces.


In addition to the Easter Joy Sharing event, Dongan Church strives to provide comfort and hope to neighbors facing hardships in their daily lives through various support activities for the local community.



Deokyeol Yoo, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “Dongan Church, which always takes an interest in the development of the local community, is a great support to residents experiencing economic difficulties,” and added, “Dongdaemun-gu will also focus more on caring for vulnerable groups who do not receive legal protection through one-on-one partnership projects and the Dong Hope Welfare Committee’s Bodeumnuri project.”
