Seongdong-gu Operates 'Jangnangam Byeongwon' (Toy Hospital)

Seongdong-gu Offers Free Monthly Repair Service for Broken Children's Toys... Users Bear Cost of Parts Replacement
Repairs Conducted on the 31st at Seongdong-gu Childcare Support Center, First-Come, First-Served Registration Starts at 10 AM on the 10th

Seongdong-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jeong Wono) operates a "Toy Hospital" once a month to repair broken toys free of charge.

Despite the high cost of toys frequently used by infants and toddlers, there are few places to repair them when they break, so they are often neglected or discarded. In response, Seongdong-gu has been providing a toy repair service once a month since September to reduce the economic burden on parents and to teach young children the meaning of resource recycling.

The repair targets are children's toys with power failures, malfunctions, motor operation failures, etc., and free repairs are available after condition diagnosis. However, costs incurred for parts replacement are borne by the user, and repairs are not possible for stuffed dolls or water play toys.

Those who wish to have repairs can apply on the Seongdong-gu Toy World website starting from 10:00 AM on October 10, and applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. This month, repairs can be received at the Seongdong-gu Childcare Support Center from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM on the 31st, and future schedules can be found on the Seongdong-gu Toy World website.

Jeong Wono, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, "I hope that operating the Toy Hospital will reduce the childcare cost burden on parents and provide children with an opportunity to get their precious toys back."
