During the session, under the guidance of a professional instructor, participants learned basic baking theory and engaged in hands-on practice, experiencing the joy of learning by making bread themselves.

The participating residents shared, "It is meaningful to learn baking, which we have always been interested in, right here in our community," and added, "Programs like this are essential in rural areas where professional training opportunities are limited."

Kim Youngmi, the head of Seoha-myeon, and Kim Sungmin, the head of the support center, who visited the venue, stated, "We hope this program will not only strengthen residents’ capabilities but also lead to the development of local specialty foods," adding, "We will continue to promote local revitalization through various programs utilizing key facilities."

Meanwhile, the Ujeon Village Shelter, established as part of the Bongjeon Village District Project, serves as a multipurpose space for education and gatherings, and is expected to be used as a place for resident communication as well as interaction with visitors to Seoha-myeon in the future.
