[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Pohang City will donate the entire 10 million KRW proceeds from the sale of secondhand goods, donated by companies and private organizations, to residents affected by the typhoon through the traveling secondhand goods sharing market event held from October 4 this year.

This year's secondhand goods sharing market was hosted by Pohang City and organized by Haengbokhan Gage, where donated secondhand goods were collected by visiting donation sites, and the donating organizations were filmed and broadcasted on cable TV and SNS as an online event.

In this secondhand goods sharing market, secondhand goods were donated by Ocheon Elementary School, Pohang Sustainable Development Council, EcoPro, Haesong·Ilwol 2nd District Rotary Club, and Daegu Bank Pohang Branch.

Pohang Mayor Kangdeok Lee and other Pohang city officials also participated in donating secondhand goods, contributing many unused secondhand items stored at home to the sharing event. The entire sales proceeds will be used to support residents in the affected areas such as Daesong-myeon, which suffered significant damage from Typhoon Hinnamnor, the 11th typhoon.

‘Haengbokhan Gage,’ located near Nam-gu Office in Pohang City, collects unused household items and sells them at affordable prices to those in need, recycling resources and donating the proceeds to neighbors in difficulty.

Park Seungdae and Lim Youngsook, representatives of Haengbokhan Gage, have donated about 240 million KRW worth of aid to neighbors in need over 23 times since 2005, and they stated that they will continue to donate to those in need through the sales proceeds of secondhand goods at ‘Haengbokhan Gage’ in the future.
