According to the county on the 21st, Kang Gi-yeon from Yeonggwang-eup was unanimously selected by the attending committee members as the recipient of the Haengnam Filial Piety Award.

This year’s recipient, Kang Gi-yeon, has practiced the essence of filial piety by devotedly caring for his mother and aunt, both diagnosed with dementia, without placing them in a nursing home despite difficult living conditions and his own physical disabilities.

The award ceremony is scheduled to take place at the 47th Yeonggwang Citizens' Day celebration on the 4th of next month.

Meanwhile, the Yeonggwang Citizen Award is given to individuals with outstanding achievements and contributions to regional development, who serve as role models through virtuous conduct and bring honor to the community. The Haengnam Filial Piety Award is an honorable award given to those whose exemplary filial piety serves as a model for others.
