Eunpyeong-gu Mayor Kim Mikyung Holds Meeting with Proud Eunpyeong Residents

Shared a meal with 7 residents who brightened Eunpyeong-gu through rescue activities, volunteering, and donations

Listened to suggestions and encouraged residents to communicate

On the 26th of last month, Kim Mi-kyung, the mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, held a meeting with 7 residents who have brightened Eunpyeong through good deeds such as rescue activities, volunteering, and donations.

Mayor Kim met with these proud residents to hear their vivid stories firsthand, listen to their difficulties and suggestions, and encourage their efforts.

Resident Yang performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a guest who choked on food, saving their life. Yang said, “Before running the restaurant, I completed CPR-related training, so I had enough experience to respond to the actual situation. I hope that emergency treatment manuals will be distributed to all stores so that any resident can easily perform first aid.”

Resident Kim, who played a decisive role in the initial extinguishing of the fire that occurred in the Sapaesan Tunnel on January 26, said, “Since late 2018, I have been active as a volunteer firefighter at the Seoul Eunpyeong Fire Station, which enabled me to act proactively. Anyone can do it if they remain calm and know the basic rules, so I hope many educational programs on this will be newly established.”

Resident Jung, who has been supporting meals for low-income youth, said, “I feel the threshold of the district office has lowered as the mayor personally listens to our voices and tries to resolve issues,” and requested that more opportunities for communication with the mayor be created in the future.

Other outstanding individuals also participated, including resident Lee, who donated 3,000 servings of Yangpyeong Haejangguk for local residents facing difficulties. Lee said, “I have always thought about volunteering for those in need, and I made the donation in connection with the Residents’ Autonomy Committee. Especially at this meeting, I was deeply impressed by the mayor’s approachable attitude, personally grilling meat and communicating with residents.”

Kim Mi-kyung, mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, said, “I deeply thank all of you who are creating a beautiful Eunpyeong-gu,” and added, “Let us create a loving Eunpyeong-gu together through continuous communication with residents.”
