Cash Donation of 1 Million Won for Two Consecutive Years to Support Households Facing Financial Hardship Due to COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) announced that the Seongbuk-gu Apartment Residents' Representatives Association (Seong-A-Yeon, President Hwang Chung-hyun) has donated 1 million won in cash for the second consecutive year to support self-employed people and struggling households whose livelihoods have been threatened by COVID-19.

Seong-A-Yeon, composed of current and former chairpersons of residents' representative meetings from about 100 apartments in Seongbuk-gu, delivered the donation with a united spirit to overcome COVID-19 together, despite the difficulty of face-to-face meetings among members due to the pandemic.

Hwang Chung-hyun, president of Seong-A-Yeon, said, "Many people around us continue to face economic difficulties due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I hope that this donation, made with supportive hearts to overcome COVID-19 together, will be of some help to our neighbors."

Lee Seung-ro, mayor of Seongbuk-gu, expressed his gratitude, saying, "I thank the Seongbuk-gu Apartment Residents' Representatives Association for their sincere generosity toward residents in the area who have unexpectedly faced economic hardships due to COVID-19. Although vaccines have been introduced, it will take time to achieve herd immunity. I look forward to the day when we can return to daily life without masks and meet Seong-A-Yeon members and all residents with smiles."

Meanwhile, Seong-A-Yeon has also taken the lead in improving awareness that workers in apartment complexes, such as security guards and cleaners, are valuable helpers to apartment residents. For example, when abuse of security guards by some apartment residents became a social issue, the association declared a prevention of abuse toward workers in multi-family housing.
