The Korea Disabled People's Development Institute announced on the 20th that it has selected three articles, including "Stood up from the wheelchair but face didn't touch... 5-6 people lined up behind" by Asia Economy reporters Gwak Min-jae and Hwang Seo-yul, as the 'Good Articles of the Month' for November.

Reporters Gwak Min-jae and Hwang Seo-yul conducted a three-part special report titled "With Corona, With Disabled People" from November 8 to 10 last year. The article focused on viewing quarantine policies, which were designed based on non-disabled people, from the perspective of disabled individuals, examining the practical difficulties they face and proposing alternatives.

Since 1998, the Korea Disabled People's Development Institute has monitored articles related to disability issues in 10 major daily newspapers and 8 economic newspapers, selecting the 'Good Articles of the Month' every month. The purpose is to encourage public and media interest in disability issues and to foster a community society that respects differences and improves positive perceptions of disabled people.
