Kim Sunho, Governor of Gurye-gun, said, “I thank the volunteers who sincerely made kimchi themselves and volunteered even in difficult times,” and added, “It makes me realize once again that Gurye is a place where the spirit of Tainneunghae of Unjoru still lives.”

A volunteer participant, Mr. Lee, said, “On the first day of kimchi making this year, the first snow fell in Gurye. Kimchi tastes better when made on a snowy day. I am happy to know that the kimchi I made will be delivered as Love Kimchi to neighbors in need.”
