Kim Dongyeon Attends Parents' Day Ceremony: "I Will Do My Best to Fulfill My Promises During My Term"

Gyeonggi Province Governor Dongyeon Kim stated that he will do his utmost to complete the senior-related policies that he was unable to fulfill during his term.

On May 7, at the 54th Parents' Day celebration held at Suwon Noblesse Wedding Convention, Governor Kim said, "I hope you all enjoy long and healthy lives so that you can continue to receive devoted care from your children. Although I cannot make any new promises this year, I will thoroughly review the commitments I have already made and do my best to complete as many of them as possible during my term."

The event began with a performance of traditional Korean music by intangible cultural asset artist Ho Yeon Lee, followed by the commemorative ceremony and congratulatory performances.

During the commemorative ceremony, a total of nine individuals, including exemplary parents and filial role models, received awards presented by the governor, the chairman of the provincial council, and the president of the Gyeonggi Province Senior Citizens Association.

In particular, carnations were pinned on the exemplary parents who devoted themselves to their families and communities over the years, once again highlighting the significance of respect and gratitude toward seniors.

A sand art performance titled "Hearts of Respect and Gratitude Drawn with Sand" and a children's choir singing "Grace of Parents" received enthusiastic responses and left a deep impression on attendees. In addition, university students read aloud the Charter for the Aged, further emphasizing intergenerational harmony.

Approximately 350 people attended the event, including Gyeonggi Province Governor Dongyeon Kim, Heonwoo Lim, president of the Gyeonggi Province branch of the Korean Senior Citizens Association, and presidents of the city, county, and district senior citizens associations in Gyeonggi Province.
