[Asia Economy (Seongnam) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province will provide a 100,000 KRW enlistment support fund to citizens who enlist as active-duty soldiers or social service agents.

To this end, Seongnam City enacted the 'Seongnam City Enlistment Support Fund Payment Ordinance' on April 5.

The payment targets are those who have been registered residents of Seongnam City for more than one year and continuously reside there, and who have received an enlistment (mobilization) notice for active duty or social service. The city expects about 1,600 people to receive the enlistment support fund by the end of this year.

Applications for the enlistment support fund will begin on the 1st of next month. Applicants can apply at the administrative welfare center of their residential district until the day before enlistment.

Enlistees who do not use mobile phones or use phones registered under another person's name or 2G phones must also bring the Seongnam Sarang Card issued by NongHyup Bank.

The city plans to pay the enlistment support fund within 8 days from the date of application via the mobile Seongnam Sarang Gift Certificate app 'Chak' or the Seongnam Sarang Card.
