This year, unlike last year, the ‘Boseong County Gugak Orchestra’ and the ‘Purumi Art Troupe’ performed traditional Korean music as a pre-event, receiving great response from the residents.

The main programs included hand and shoulder massages, knife sharpening, hairdressing and beauty services, makeup, snap photo shoots, and fan-making experiences, along with outreach counseling to identify welfare blind spots.

Lim Young-seo, president of the Boseong-gun Saemaeul Association, said, “I am grateful to the volunteers who never hesitate to participate whenever there is a service opportunity,” adding, “It is beautiful to see people donating their talents for rural residents.”

A talent donor volunteer named Kim said, “Seeing the elders happy is truly rewarding, and I am glad to be part of such a meaningful event.”

Meanwhile, the ‘Rural Talent Sharing Festival’ is part of the Welfare 600 project and is scheduled to be held twice a week targeting 12 towns and townships until August 22.

Boseong-gun is expanding the ‘Our Neighborhood, We Cultivate Boseong 600’ project across all administrative fields, implementing various programs such as Welfare 600, Safety 600, and Clean 600.
