Gwangju Urban Corporation (President Kim Seungnam) held a "Visiting Consumer Rights Promotion Event" on the 30th in collaboration with the Korea Consumer Agency at the Social Welfare Center within Ssangchon Siyoung 3 Complex and the Yeomju Sports Complex area.

The event was organized to provide consumer damage prevention education and counseling, as well as daily life stabilization services in one place for local residents, including tenants of rental housing, who are particularly vulnerable to consumer rights violations.

A total of 22 companies and organizations, including Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Kia, Hyundai, LG Household & Health Care, and Ceragem, participated in the event. They operated various practical support programs closely related to daily life, such as consumer damage counseling, longevity photo shoots, health check-ups and medical device experiences, free inspections of small home appliances and boilers, free vehicle inspections, and fake fuel testing.

In particular, for the elderly, consumer damage prevention education was provided, including guidance on how to purchase health functional foods correctly. Participants who completed the education received a longevity photo shoot service, which was very well received. Additional programs such as a consumer damage counseling booth, free mobile photo printing, and the provision of health drinks were also offered, creating a lively atmosphere throughout the event.

President Kim Seungnam stated, "This event is an exemplary case of public-private cooperation, combining our efforts to realize residential welfare, the expertise of the Korea Consumer Agency, and the social contribution of private companies. We will continue to expand customized welfare services that reflect voices from the field."

Meanwhile, Gwangju Urban Corporation plans to further expand public-private cooperation and continuously develop and broaden residential welfare services that residents can truly experience.
