Yisang-il, Mayor of Yongin, Joins Hometown Love Donation Certification Challenge

"Hope for Continued Strong Participation in Hometown Love Donations"

Lee Sang-il, Mayor of Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province, participated on the 19th in the 'Hometown Love Donation Certification Challenge' being conducted to promote the Hometown Love Donation System.

This event is a donation relay initiated by Han Byung-do, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea who originally proposed the 'Hometown Love Donation Act,' to spread a culture of community donations. It continues by having members of the National Assembly and local government heads certify their participation in the Hometown Love Donation and then nominate the next participant.

Mayor Lee joined the challenge on the 7th after being nominated by Lee Gang-deok, Mayor of Pohang City, Gyeongbuk Province, a sister city, and donated Hometown Love Donations to the sister cities of Jeonju City in Jeonbuk Province, Sokcho City in Gangwon Province, and Gwangyang City in Jeonnam Province. He then nominated Woo Beom-gi, Mayor of Jeonju, Lee Byung-seon, Mayor of Sokcho, and Jeong In-hwa, Mayor of Gwangyang, as the next participants.

Mayor Lee said, "I am honored to participate in the Hometown Love Donation Certification Challenge, which aims to expand local finances and revitalize the regional economy through voluntary donations," adding, "I hope that through this challenge, many donations will continue not only to Yongin City but also to the sister cities of Jeonju, Sokcho, and Gwangyang."

The Hometown Love Donation System is a program introduced to expand local finances and revitalize the regional economy through donations. If you donate up to an annual limit of 5 million KRW to local governments other than the area where you currently reside, you can receive tax credit benefits and gifts worth up to 30% of the donation amount.

Meanwhile, from June 28 to July 23, Yongin City will sell tickets for the '42nd Korea Theater Festival,' held throughout Yongin, at 50% off the market price on the 'Hometown Love e-um' website.
