On the morning of the 29th, Mayor Park Hyung-jun personally visited the Army's 53rd Infantry Division to deliver the consolation money. Senior officials, including Song Kyung-joo, Director of Planning and Coordination, and other executives of grade 2 or higher, will also visit local units by today to express their gratitude and deliver consolation money to the soldiers fulfilling their national defense duties during the year-end period.

Every year at the end of the year, the city visits local military units, mainly led by executives, to encourage the soldiers and deliver consolation money. For the past three years, the money was delivered through non-face-to-face methods to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the region, but this year, Mayor Park Hyung-jun will personally visit to convey his regards and encouragement to the soldiers.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun expressed his gratitude, saying, “It is because of the dedication of the soldiers defending the homeland even in cold weather that our citizens can live comfortably.” He added, “I hope that the consolation money, collected with sincerity during the cold winter, will bring some warmth, and we will continue to actively cooperate with local military units to strive for regional development.”

Since 1978, Busan City has participated annually in the ‘Fundraising for Consolation Money for Military Personnel’ organized by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs. This year, from November for one month, employees of the city hall, business offices, autonomous districts and counties, and local public enterprises participated, raising a total of 28,506,000 KRW.
