The Guodoil Cafe, first installed in 2012, is a beverage vending machine open for anyone to use freely. During the summer, it offers cold bottled water, while in the winter, it provides hot pumpkin tea and grain tea—all free of charge.

This year, visitors can enjoy their drinks while viewing the waterfall landscape created by Mapo-gu at the Gongdeok Five-way Intersection traffic island, adding further meaning as an urban rest area where people can take a break from the summer heat.

A small donation box is also placed next to the vending machine. Voluntary donations from local residents are used to support elderly residents living alone in Mapo-gu through local welfare organizations.

A representative from S-Oil commented, "Guodoil Cafe is a small sharing space that anyone can use without hesitation. We will continue to operate it as a place where people can take a break with a cold drink and share warmth with the local community."
