"With Hearts of Gratitude and Love" ... Changwon Special City Joins Together

Family Month 'Thank You and Love Message Delivery Event' Launched

To celebrate the verdant month of May, the month of family, Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam is hosting a unique event.

From April 28 to May 4, Changwon Special City will accept online applications and select 100 citizens to display messages of gratitude and love on Changwon City's promotional electronic billboards (Changwon City Hall/Yangdeok-dong) and in the Changwon City Newsletter.

Although we now live in a smart era where various SNS platforms such as Instagram and KakaoTalk have become widespread alongside the remarkable advancement of information and communication technology, it is also sometimes characterized by a negative perception as a crisis of humanity.

A city official explained that the event was planned to revive the sentiment of the past when people would carefully write letters and send them to radio stations or look for public telephones to check voice messages left on pagers, giving citizens an opportunity to convey their feelings to their loved ones.

Public Relations Officer Yoo Jeong said, “We live in a smart era where desired messages can be delivered instantly with just a few taps, but sometimes we miss the purple letter paper filled with clumsy handwriting,” adding, “We will do our best to ensure that the heartfelt messages of gratitude and love are well conveyed.”

Detailed information about the event and how to apply can be found from April 28 on the city’s official SNS (Instagram, Facebook, etc.) and local community card news posts. Winners will be randomly selected from suitable messages and individually notified on May 4.
