Single-Person Households Gather to Make Kimchi and Share with the Local Community

Seodaemun-gu's 'Kimjang Day for Single-Person Households' Held as an In-Person Program... 20 Single-Person Household Members Participate, Each Making 20kg, Half Donated to Vulnerable Groups

Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Seongheon) will hold the ‘Kimchi Making Day for Single-Person Households’ program on the 25th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Seodaemun Women’s Room Center (Baekryeonsa-gil 39).

The event is provided free of charge for single-person households who feel burdened by the cost and process of making kimchi, and unlike last year’s non-face-to-face online event, this year it will be held in person.

Twenty single-person household members living in the area will each make 20kg of kimchi using pre-prepared salted napa cabbage and seasoning.

As the event’s catchphrase, ‘Kimchi Making Together, Sharing Together,’ participants will donate half of the kimchi they make, 10kg, to vulnerable groups, adding meaningfulness to the event.

This kimchi will be delivered to low-income elderly living alone, middle-aged single-person households, multicultural families, and others.

Those who wish to participate can apply by the 10th of this month through the ‘Seoul Single-Person Household Portal’ or by accessing the QR code on the promotional poster. For more details, contact the Seodaemun-gu Single-Person Household Support Center.

Mayor Lee Seongheon said, “The kimchi made by the participants themselves will be a great gift to residents in need this winter,” and added, “We will work harder for a 100% happy Seodaemun for all residents, including single-person household members.”
