[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Are you familiar with the "Black Briquette Bank" that opens its doors in the cold winter? Although its exterior is pitch black, the Briquette Bank, which trades warm love, has opened once again.

Daegu Dalseong-gun (Governor Choi Jae-hoon) and Dalseong Briquette Bank (Executive Director Oh Il-young) held the "13th Love Briquette Sharing Reopening Ceremony" on the 10th at the permanent stage of Hyeonpung Baeknyeon Dokkaebi Market.

The event was attended by Choi Jae-hoon, Governor of Dalseong-gun; Cha Jun-yong, Chairman of Dalseong Welfare Foundation; Heo Ki-bok, Chairman of the National Briquette Bank Council; Oh Il-young, Executive Director of Dalseong Briquette Bank; Kim Won-gyu, Daegu City Council member; and Dalseong County Council members Kwak Dong-hwan, Park Young-dong, Choi Jae-gyu, Yang Eun-sook, and Lee Yeon-sook. About 300 people, including employees of Kookmin Bank Dalseong Industrial Complex Branch, students from various schools in Dalseong-gun, volunteers, and residents of Dalseong-gun, attended to add warmth.

At this event, Bapsang Community Welfare Foundation donated 30,000 briquettes, Dalseong Welfare Foundation 20,000 briquettes, Samsung Church 6,500 briquettes, Hyeonpung Bak So-seon Halmae Jip Gomtang 1,000 briquettes, and Kookmin Bank Dalseong Industrial Complex Branch donated 1 million won.

Starting with the reopening ceremony on this day, Dalseong Briquette Bank will actively carry out briquette sharing projects for low-income and marginalized groups in areas that need briquettes.

In 2021, through sponsorships and volunteer work from individuals, organizations, and groups, 70,000 briquettes were delivered to 320 households, becoming a warm support for the energy-poor in Dalseong-gun.

Executive Director Oh Il-young said, "At the Briquette Bank, we conduct fundraising activities and briquette sharing volunteer work so that low-income marginalized groups can have a warm winter," adding, "The bank will continue to open its doors until there are no residents suffering from the winter cold."

Governor Choi Jae-hoon of Dalseong-gun said, "I thank Executive Director Oh Il-young and the staff of Dalseong Briquette Bank who have delivered warmth to Dalseong-gun's winter every year," and added, "Starting with the reopening ceremony, we will strive to ensure that briquettes are evenly delivered to the energy-poor in Dalseong-gun."

The Briquette Bank was launched in December 2010 and has been supporting briquettes annually to local basic livelihood security recipients and low-income groups while waiting for helping hands.
