According to the county on the 25th, about 30 people, including Ahn Won-jun, chairman of the Administrative Welfare Committee of the Sinan County Council, the Residents' Autonomy Committee, the Village Leaders' Association, the Tourism Council, women's organizations, and social organization leaders, participated in the delivery ceremony.


The residents of Heuksando, upon hearing the heartbreaking news of flood damage suffered by the people of Cheongyang-gun due to continuous heavy rain since the 13th, gathered their small contributions to offer comfort and support for recovery.


Choi Young-jae, head of Heuksan-myeon, said, "I extend my deepest condolences to the residents of Cheongyang-gun who suffered great damage, and hope that this will be of some help and that a swift return to normal life will be achieved."



Located at the southwesternmost point of South Korea, Heuksan-myeon declared Heuksando as "Cheongyang-gun's island" when it formed a sisterhood relationship with Cheongyang-gun on October 19 last year, opening an active platform for mutual exchange and cooperation.
