Kim Hyun-gi, Chairman of the Seoul Metropolitan Council, attended the opening ceremony of the 17th Seoul Safety Festival held at Yeouido Park on the 11th, celebrating the opening and holding a resolution ceremony to create a safe Seoul.

The Seoul Safety Festival is the largest safety culture event in Korea, held annually since 2007. This year marks its 17th edition.

This year, under the theme "Healing, Walking Toward the Future," the festival is held as a safety culture festival encompassing all generations. A total of 78 organizations and groups participate, and 82 safety experience programs across four fields?fire, daily life, traffic, and harmony?are conducted throughout the venue over three days.

The programs in the four fields include ▲15 fire safety programs (such as emergency escape device experience, water extinguisher experience), ▲34 daily life safety programs (such as CPR training for the whole family, escape from crowded places), ▲13 traffic safety programs (such as flight attendant safety experience class, subway VR evacuation experience), and ▲20 harmony programs (such as pop drone experience, fireman life photo booth, emergency escape with pets).

Chairman Kim Hyun-gi said, “There is a saying, 'Excess is as bad as deficiency,' but there is one exception: citizen safety,” adding, “We will spare no effort or investment to proactively respond to urban aging and climate change.”

He also said, “Recently, the Seoul Metropolitan Government passed an organizational restructuring plan to expand and strengthen the 'Safety General Office' into the 'Disaster Safety Management Office,'” and added, “We will always do our best to create a safe Seoul, staying close to the field and citizens.”
