[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Kim Jong-du, chairman of the Geochang County Council in Gyeongnam, participated in the ‘Flower Bucket Challenge’ on the 14th to help flower farmers struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The Flower Bucket Challenge is a public interest relay campaign to promote flower consumption that started in February last year with a proposal from the Jeju Small Business Association and has been spreading through SNS and offline channels.

Kim, who joined the campaign after being nominated by Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang County, visited flower farms directly to encourage farmers facing difficulties, saying, “Many large and small events have been canceled due to COVID-19, greatly reducing flower consumption,” and “I hope this campaign, which delivers a small hope to struggling flower farmers, continues.”

Meanwhile, Kim handed flowers purchased directly from flower farms to Kim Myung-sang, chief of the Geochang Police Station, and Jo Yoon-hwan, head of the Nonghyup Geochang County branch, who were nominated as the next participants.
