[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] Gyeongju Expo Grand Park has delivered the coins collected from the ‘Lucky Coin Toss’ zone installed in the Secret Garden within the park to the Gyeongbuk Community Chest of Korea.

The delivery ceremony was attended by Jeong Gyu-sik, Secretary General of Gyeongju Expo, Jeong Dong-ui, Secretary General of the Gyeongbuk Community Chest of Korea, and Noh Hye-rim, Team Leader of the Gyeongbuk Regional Support Group for Local Children's Centers. The amount collected from the ‘Lucky Coin Toss’ zone from April last year until the end of the year was 340,000 KRW.

The delivery was originally planned for early this year but was postponed due to COVID-19.

A representative of the Gyeongbuk Community Chest of Korea stated that the delivery was made during a visit to lead a free invitation visit to Gyeongju Expo Grand Park for the Chilgok Buksam and Yakmok area children’s centers.

The ‘Lucky Coin Toss’ zone was established in April last year as part of an agreement between Gyeongju Expo Grand Park and the Gyeongbuk Community Chest of Korea to support culturally vulnerable groups in the region.

A representative of Gyeongju Expo Grand Park said, “The coins collected every year are gathered at the end of the year and delivered at the beginning of the following year,” adding, “Coins are accumulating again this year in the ‘Lucky Coin Toss’ zone.”
