[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 30th, Miryang City, Gyeongnam, selected three volunteer kings in the elderly, children and youth, and general categories who have actively carried out volunteer activities in various fields during the first half of the year despite the COVID-19 situation.

The selected volunteer kings are Lee Min-ja, President of the Muan-myeon Volunteer Association; Hong Yeon-jin of Milseong Jeil High School; and Kwak Jae-ho, President of the Korea Bird Protection Association Miryang Branch.

The awardees practiced neighborly love in various fields where help was needed, such as supporting kimchi and side dishes for vulnerable groups, environmental cleanup activities, and assisting with the use of public facilities, even under conditions where face-to-face activities were difficult.

Mayor Park Il-ho expressed his gratitude, saying, "The exemplary leadership of many volunteers, including the three selected volunteer kings for the first half of the year, is driving the creation of a happy Miryang for its citizens."
