Warmth Spreads in Winter... Ulleung County Launches 'Hope 2026 Sharing Campaign'

"Giving That Adds Happiness,
Ulleung Transformed Through Donations"

The harsh winter sea winds of the East Sea cannot cool the warmth of this island village.

On December 6 at 4 p.m., the Ulleung County Community Security Council (Civilian Chairman Hwang Sungwoong) held the launch ceremony for the 'Hope 2026 Sharing Campaign' and the Dokdo Pops Orchestra 'Winter Gala Concert' simultaneously at the Hanmaeum Hall Grand Theater.

The event, which aimed to reflect on the meaning of sharing during the year-end and New Year season, concluded successfully.

The launch ceremony was divided into two parts.

The first part featured the official proclamation of the Hope 2026 Sharing Campaign. It began with a progress report sharing the achievements and donation distribution results from the previous year's campaign. This was followed by a donation box performance to mark the successful start of the campaign, and a slogan chant, "Giving that adds happiness, Ulleung transformed through donations," providing a moment to reflect on the significance of sharing.

In the second part, the Hope Concert by the Dokdo Pops Orchestra, held in collaboration with the Ulleung County Community Security Council through an MOU, delivered a warm and moving performance that enhanced the festive year-end atmosphere for attendees. The orchestra also plans to contribute to the spread of a culture of sharing through future talent donations.

Additionally, the Love Fruit Sharing Volunteer Group served warm tea and corn porridge, bringing extra joy to participants and fostering a heartwarming atmosphere that reinforced the meaning of giving.

Nam Han-gwon, the public chairman and county governor, stated, "Through the Sharing Campaign, I hope Ulleung County will become even warmer and continue to develop in a society filled with sharing and love. Going forward, Ulleung County will strive for the successful implementation of the 'Hope 2026 Sharing Campaign' to provide practical support to marginalized neighbors in the community and to build a better Ulleung."

Ulleung County plans to conduct the fundraising campaign for 62 days, from December 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026. The county has set a fundraising goal of 80 million won, as in the previous year, and will continue active campaign activities to exceed this target.
