[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gong Young-min) is accelerating preparations for the successful hosting of the ‘48th Goheung Residents' Day’ event scheduled for November 1.

This year’s Residents' Day event, held outdoors for the first time in four years, will begin with a pre-event on October 31, followed by a rich program on November 1 including pre-ceremony events, an entrance ceremony, a commemorative ceremony, cheerful games, and a harmony festival, delivering touching moments and fostering pride and self-esteem as Goheung residents.

Earlier, on the 5th, Goheung-gun held the Goheung Residents' Award Deliberation Committee at the Goheung-gun Office Uju Hall, selecting Kim Soon-seok, CEO of Doyang Taxi, as the 2022 Goheung Residents' Award recipient in the social, welfare, and industry sectors. The award will be presented at the Residents' Day commemorative ceremony.

Kim Soon-seok, selected as the award recipient, has contributed to creating a warm social atmosphere by offering free rides to elderly citizens with mobility difficulties during his taxi operations, and by saving the fares from his first daily customers into a fund for helping neighbors in need, practicing sharing and kindness especially during the year-end and New Year seasons.

Additionally, he has been recognized for his dedication and service to local development and neighborly love by providing 100 sets of clothing to children from low-income families, delivering 300 briquettes annually to the local senior citizens' association, and awarding scholarships worth 50 million won to 102 students to date.

This year’s Residents' Day event will be a meaningful occasion for residents and hometown friends to unite and share joy, and will also feature a vision proclamation ceremony wishing for Goheung’s vigorous leap forward and a future Goheung with a population of 100,000 together with the residents.
