Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) will hold the "Life Love Musical" at the Gwangjin Youth Center Grand Theater on September 6th in observance of Suicide Prevention Day.


Suicide Prevention Day, designated by the World Health Organization and the International Association for Suicide Prevention to raise awareness about the importance of life and the seriousness of suicide issues and to establish countermeasures, is observed annually on September 10th.


Accordingly, the district will hold a commemorative event to promote the importance of mental health and improve social awareness of mental illness.


The event will be divided into two parts. The first part will feature the 20th anniversary ceremony of the opening of the Gwangjin-gu Mental Health Welfare Center. It will be conducted concisely with greetings from guests and viewing of a commemorative video.


The second part will be followed by the life love musical performance "Marigold." The Marigold, whose flower language means "happiness that will surely come," portrays healing the pain of people suffering from school violence, loneliness, and economic difficulties, reminding us of the value of life and happiness.


On the side, experience booths will also be prepared. Various mental health booths will line up to allow participation in the Life Love Hope Message.


The district will recruit 300 residents on a first-come, first-served basis, and residents who wish to participate can apply by calling the Gwangjin-gu Mental Health Welfare Center or through the QR code.



Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "I sincerely congratulate the 20th anniversary of the Mental Health Welfare Center. I express my gratitude to all those involved who have worked hard to promote mental health in the community," and added, "Preventing suicide requires the interest and love of all of us. Taking this commemorative event as an opportunity, we will widely spread a culture of respect for life in the community and create a healthy Gwangjin-gu both physically and mentally."
