Kim Dong-yeon: "I will ensure no one is left in welfare blind spots without support"
[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Kim Dong-yeon, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, promised that no one in Gyeonggi Province would be left in welfare blind spots without support and become discouraged.
On the 20th, Governor Kim explained through his social network service (SNS) that the "(Gyeonggi Province-operated) 'Delinquent Tax Management Team' primarily focuses on tax collection," adding, "They strictly pursue and seize assets, including virtual assets, from malicious tax delinquents."
However, he said, "In Gyeonggi Province, even during the process of debt collection by the Delinquent Tax Management Team, welfare blind spots are identified and supported." For example, "When visiting a small delinquent taxpayer who owed about 30,000 won, they found the person living with difficulty in a temporary container shelter, so they immediately connected them with the welfare department. Depending on the situation, support such as housing, livelihood, and medical aid is provided to delinquents, and if necessary, employment linkage is also arranged," he introduced.
He continued, "Through these efforts, 3,409 people have been connected with social welfare services, and 1,589 have received welfare support," adding, "This active administration, which breaks down barriers between ministries, is helping to discover welfare blind spots."

In particular, he emphasized, "'Welfare blind spots' cannot be resolved by a specific department or public authority alone," and "The community must step forward, and interest and efforts from all walks of life must come together.
