[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the morning of the 29th at 7 a.m., residents gathered at the Baebongsan Open Plaza in Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) to attend the ‘Dongdaemun-gu Residents One Heart Walking Day’ event as the cool autumn breeze blew.

Hosted by the Dongdaemun-gu Sports Council, this event holds even greater significance as it was held for the first time in three years due to COVID-19.

The event began with an energetic performance by the Seoul City University cheerleader team. Residents started walking together on a circular walking trail of about 4 km, initiated by the starting signal from Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, sharing a time of unity.

Additionally, a raffle event sponsored by various local companies such as Lotte Department Store Cheongnyangni Branch, Evejari, Seoul Naeun Hospital, Korea Racing Authority Dongdaemun Branch, Polo Club Bag Ilbeonji, Daemyeong Credit Union, Gyeongdong Credit Union, and LG Best Shop Jang-an Branch was held, receiving enthusiastic responses from the residents.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, who attended the event, said, “I am very pleased to have the opportunity to walk together on this refreshing autumn morning. Walking helps organize thoughts and brings many benefits, and I hope the memories of enjoying and walking Baebongsan together today will remain as joyful and happy recollections.”

Lee Ki-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, visited the site of the ‘Autumn Healing Park Day’ held on the 29th at Yangcheon Park, Paris Park, and Neomeundeul Park to spend time communicating with residents.

‘Autumn Healing Park Day’ was planned to provide a healing time through various cultural programs to celebrate the peak of autumn foliage. Through this, it aims to spread a park culture created together with residents beyond simply using the parks.

At Yangcheon Park, Paris Park, and Neomeundeul Park on that day, various programs under the theme of ‘Green Lifestyle’ were held, including flea markets, film festivals, experiential activities, crafts, and music performances, allowing families to fully enjoy the autumn atmosphere.

Mayor Lee Ki-jae said, “I hope this event will serve as an opportunity to feel the importance of nearby green spaces like parks and lead to increased interest in a park culture created together.”

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, attended the ‘2022 Nodaji Market’ event held at Junggye Deungnamu Cultural Park at 1 p.m. on the 29th.

The Nodaji Market was organized through cooperation between the public and private sectors to raise awareness that ‘waste is also a valuable resource’ and to promote environmental protection and the importance of resource reuse, aiming to establish a resource-circulating society.

At the event, about 100 residents selected through prior application sold reusable secondhand items such as clothing, books, and daily necessities, and participated in various experiential programs including making eco-friendly household items through upcycling (creating new value from discarded products and rebirthing them as new products).

Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, “Resource circulation through recycling and reuse is an essential task to solve the climate crisis. We will continue to promote various projects and actively support efforts to preserve the environment and create a sustainable resource-circulating society.”
