Gangdong-gu KakaoTalk 'Gangdong-gu Office' Channel Launch

Established as an integrated comprehensive information channel combined with the existing 'Gangdong-gu AlimTalk'... Convenient connection to civil service desks such as Gangdong-gu local tax refunds, requested by the district mayor

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon) announced that it has opened and is operating the official KakaoTalk channel ‘Gangdong-gu Office’ to facilitate smooth communication with residents in the COVID-19 era.

This is to quickly deliver district news to residents by using KakaoTalk, a SNS platform with a high market share, as the use of mobile messengers has increased due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Through the opening of this KakaoTalk channel, the district integrated the two channels previously operated separately, ‘Gangdong-gu AlimTalk’ and ‘Gangdong-gu Office,’ into one channel to enhance residents’ convenience in accessing information.

The newly launched official Gangdong-gu KakaoTalk channel posts information about district-related events and various programs, and in the chat window provides information related to COVID-19 such as ▲ Requests to the Mayor ▲ Online civil service windows including Gangdong-gu local tax refunds ▲ COVID-19 situation ▲ COVID-19 vaccination plans.

The district sent a friend notification message about the channel opening to about 20,000 existing Gangdong-gu AlimTalk members and plans to hold additional channel events to increase channel usage in the future.

Anyone who uses KakaoTalk can easily search for ‘Gangdong-gu Office’ in the KakaoTalk search bar and add the channel to check various information provided by the district.

Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, “We opened a KakaoTalk channel that anyone can easily use to quickly deliver necessary information to residents in the COVID-19 era,” and added, “We will continuously improve and develop it to become an effective information provision channel for residents.”
