Despite the early winter cold, about 500 Saemaul members from 18 towns and townships participated, working up a sweat and once again demonstrating Uiseong’s representative year-end culture of sharing.

The site truly became a “hub of winter warmth.” The hands of volunteers came together to make over 4,500 heads of kimchi, which will be delivered to 1,000 households in welfare blind spots, including elderly people living alone, people with disabilities, and single-parent families.

Key guests, including Uiseong County Mayor Kim Joosoo and county council members, also visited the venue and took part in the kimchi-making process, adding further meaning to the act of sharing.

In particular, Choi Hunsik, Chairman of the Uiseong County Council, stated, “A community becomes stronger when warm hearts come together,” and added, “The Uiseong County Council will continue to support the spread of a culture of sharing together with the residents.”

Park Heeyong, President of the Uiseong County Saemaul Association, said, “The dedication and participation of our members enabled us to practice even greater sharing,” and pledged, “We will continue the tradition of Saemaul volunteerism that brightens our community.”

Kim Joosoo, Mayor of Uiseong County, remarked, “I was deeply moved by the Saemaul members rolling up their sleeves for their neighbors despite the cold,” and added, “We will further strengthen the power of our community living together.”

Meanwhile, the kimchi sharing event by the Uiseong County Saemaul Association has established itself as a representative year-end sharing event in the region and is recognized as a symbolic event that embodies the value of ‘Living Together in Uiseong.’
