Seongbuk-gu Mayor Lee Seung-ro Orders 'Emergency Response Team Activation'... Seongbuk-gu, Korea University, Fire Station, and Police Collaborate to Thoroughly Inspect Accommodation Hygiene and Safety

Programs Prepared Utilizing the Region's Rich Historical and Cultural Resources

Four hundred Taiwanese youth who left the Saemangeum Jamboree early will continue their remaining schedule in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul.

Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro), in cooperation with Korea University (President Kim Dong-won), is providing Korea University dormitories as accommodation and has fully launched cultural experience programs operated by the district to give the Taiwanese participants good memories in South Korea instead of the disappointment of leaving the Jamboree early.

Starting from 4 p.m. on the 8th, the Taiwanese youth participants who enter sequentially will be provided with high-quality meals through Korea University’s campus cafeteria. Except for the K-pop concert scheduled on the 11th, special memories that can only be experienced in Seongbuk from the 9th to the 10th will be offered.

The district plans to actively utilize the area's characteristics, which are rich in modern and contemporary historical and cultural resources, so much so that it is called an “open-air museum.”

Through the Seongbuk City Tour Bus program, participants will visit famous spots in Seongbuk-dong such as the Korean Traditional Stone Museum, Gilsangsa Temple, Choi Soon-woo Old House, and Suyeonsanbang, as well as the Odong Forest Library in Wolgok-dong, considered the most beautiful library in Korea, where they will have time to relax with books and share stories in nature.

They will also watch a movie at the Arirang Cine Center, the nation’s first citizen theater operated by a local government.

Leveraging the city’s characteristic of having the highest number of universities nationwide, they will visit Hansung University located in Samseon-dong, Seongbuk-gu. At Hansung University, they will watch traditional cultural performances and experience Korean traditional culture.

Additionally, they will participate in a special exhibition and experience program at the Seonjam Museum in Seongbuk-dong, where the history of Korean traditional clothing can be seen at a glance.

Since there were high safety concerns about the Saemangeum campsite, Seongbuk-gu has ensured perfect safety measures. Mayor Lee Seung-ro activated an emergency response team and urged Seongbuk-gu, Korea University, the fire station, and police to collaborate and meticulously inspect the hygiene and safety of the accommodation site. Health management is also perfectly maintained through the presence of medical staff to prevent heat-related illnesses.

Upon arrival at Korea University, the Taiwanese youth participants, who looked somewhat tired, smiled broadly in front of a banner that read “Seongbuk-gu Hao (好)! Jamboree Hao (好)! Let’s make good memories in Seongbuk-gu,” as Seongbuk-gu staff greeted them with a practiced “Welcome” in Taiwanese.

Yang Shigaoming (17) said, “I was disappointed that friends from the UK and the US left the Saemangeum campsite early, losing the chance to get closer, but I am looking forward to the schedule here in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, leaving that disappointment behind.”

Mayor Lee Seung-ro of Seongbuk-gu stated, “Taiwanese youth who came with great expectations for the Jamboree held in South Korea will be cared for meticulously and safely so that they can create more joyful memories during their stay in Seongbuk-gu rather than feeling regret over leaving early.”
