Jang Seil, Yeonggwang County Governor Candidate: "Supporting Seniors Living Alone"

Residential Environment Improvement Activities in Ungok Village, Yeomsan
Welfare Task Force and 119 Patrol Also Participated

Jang Seil, the Democratic Party candidate for Yeonggwang County Governor, visited Ungok Village in Yawol-ri, Yeomsan-myeon, Yeonggwang County, South Jeolla Province on April 21, 2026, where he carried out volunteer activities to improve the living conditions of vulnerable households.

The volunteer work was joined by the Yeomsan Neighborhood Welfare Task Force, Yeonggwang Transportation Volunteer Corps, and the 119 Living Safety Patrol from Yeonggwang Fire Station, who worked together on residential environment maintenance and safety inspections.

The participants focused on households that have difficulty managing on their own, such as elderly people living alone, and provided practical support by sorting household waste, cleaning up the environment, and performing minor repairs to help improve their daily living conditions.

Candidate Jang said, "After visiting the site myself, I realized that even small acts of organizing and repairing can make a big difference in someone's daily life," adding, "I will make sure that seniors who live alone and residents in need of help do not fall through the cracks and will provide continuous support."

He went on to emphasize, "I will strengthen the system where the volunteer fire brigade and other volunteer groups step in to support areas that otherwise might be overlooked," adding, "Helping people live healthily in a pleasant environment is a fundamental role of the local administration."

He also expressed his deep gratitude to the members of the Welfare Task Force, volunteer groups, and the 119 Living Safety Patrol who participated despite their busy schedules.

Meanwhile, Candidate Jang plans to continue working to improve residents' safety and living conditions through projects such as the 'Demolition of Vacant Rural Houses' initiative and the 'Expansion of Support for Multi-family Housing Projects.'
