[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) will provide an additional 700 million KRW in voluntary support funds as part of the crisis recovery disaster relief fund.

Accordingly, support will be extended to 21 private kindergartens, 174 goshiwon, 5 wedding halls, and 2 funeral halls located within the region. Private kindergartens will receive 1 million KRW per facility, goshiwon will receive 500,000 KRW per facility, and wedding halls and funeral halls will be provided with quarantine supplies worth 1 million KRW per facility.
