Citizens wishing to participate should visit their local eup, myeon, or dong administrative welfare center with identification and application documents by the 20th to apply.

Mayor Kang In-gyu said, “As the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and resurgence continue to cause stagnation in the local economy and employment, I hope this project will help stabilize the livelihoods of vulnerable employment groups. We ask for your great interest and participation.”
