[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the afternoon of the 5th, Chaehyunil, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, visited the 'Children, Youth, and Multicultural Promotion Exhibition Hall' set up at Mullae Neighborhood Park to check the on-site operation status.

This event features offline themed booths operated by local welfare facilities for children, youth, and multicultural families, along with non-face-to-face online experience programs such as cooking and drone-making experiences, allowing any resident to freely visit and enjoy.

Mayor Chae stated, "We will carefully manage various policies to protect the rights and improve the welfare of children, youth, and multicultural households, creating a Yeongdeungpo where all residents can enjoy a happy life in a safe environment free from prejudice and discrimination."

On the 5th, Seong Jang-hyun, Mayor of Yongsan-gu, attended the '39th Namyi General Shrine Festival' held at Namyi General Shrine in Yongmun-dong (88-10 Hyochangwon-ro) as the chief ritual officer.

The Namyi General Shrine Festival is a traditional cultural event honoring the patriotism of General Namyi and praying for residents' health, longevity, and prosperity in their livelihoods. It has been registered as Seoul City Intangible Cultural Property No. 20 (since July 1, 1999), and the Namyi General Shrine Festival Preservation Society organizes it annually.

Following last year, the event was scaled down to prevent the spread of COVID-19, with only the shrine ritual conducted. Other ceremonies such as the ritual dance and general's departure ceremony were all omitted.

Mayor Seong Jang-hyun said, "Residents contributed little by little to create the public monument for the Namyi General Shrine Festival Preservation Society," and added, "I hope the Namyi General Shrine Festival will continue to grow as a traditional cultural event of the Republic of Korea."
