Bang Se-hwan stated, "It is only right to return the heartfelt support from those who attended the opening ceremony to our neighbors who are struggling," adding, "The goodwill we receive should not remain where it was given, but instead flow to places where it is more needed."

Previously, at the election office opening ceremony held in Gyeongan-dong, Gwangju City on April 30, instead of conventional wreaths, many 'rice wreaths' were delivered, and a total of 420 kg of rice was collected with the participation of local citizens.

The election camp explained that since immediately after the event, they have been considering ways to return the rice to the local community, with the intention of using the citizens' congratulations and support to help the underprivileged in the region.

Meanwhile, the donated rice will be delivered to welfare facilities and vulnerable groups within Gwangju City.
