[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jeong Young-kwon] Oh Ssang-seop, chairman of the Noam-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee in Namwon City, announced on the 15th that he received a special award at the awards ceremony of the '1st Intangible Heritage Contents Competition' held during the 2022 Namwon Intangible Cultural Heritage Week Neunaduri event.

Chairman Oh Ssang-seop has been saddened by the decreasing number of people seeking tradition and has strived to introduce the spirit and soul of ancestors to his descendants and raise awareness of its importance in order to preserve this legacy.

This special award was recognized as highly valuable as a life-historical material that provides insight into how ordinary people lived in the Namwon area before and after the Korean War through the life story of his father (Oh Byung-hee).

In particular, he was highly praised for recording the stories together with his granddaughter (Shin Yeo-ju) to ensure that the life stories of previous generations are passed down to future generations.

Meanwhile, Oh Ssang-seop has been serving as the chairman of the Residents' Autonomy Committee in Noam-dong since 2020, actively engaging in various community matters.
