In particular, on February 11, Mayor Lee Haksoo of Jeongeup City visited Jeongeup Municipal Nursing Home and Jeongeup Wonkwang Nursing Home in turn, listened to the difficulties faced by facility workers, and delivered gifts.

Mayor Lee Haksoo said, "I would like to express my deep gratitude for the dedication and hard work of all the staff who cannot rest even during the holidays and care for the residents in place of their families," adding, "Jeongeup City will continue to implement meticulous welfare administration so that every citizen, without any neighbor being left out, can enjoy a warm and happy holiday."

In response, a facility representative said, "We are grateful to Jeongeup City for visiting us every holiday without fail and sharing its warm heart," and added, "We will do our utmost to care for the elderly so that they can spend the holidays in the facility as comfortably and joyfully as if they were at home."

Meanwhile, Jeongeup City designated February 11 to 12 as the "Holiday Consolation Outreach Period." During this time, senior public officials, including directors of bureaus and offices and heads of towns, townships, and neighborhoods, are directly visiting welfare facilities and organizations within the jurisdiction to deliver gifts, check on their well-being, and continue field-centered welfare administration.
