This event has been organized to help seniors using the center stay hydrated and healthy throughout the hot summer.

Since August 3, the center has been preparing and providing 450 bottles of cool water daily. In particular, the center operates in a way that allows seniors visiting during peak heat hours to freely take and drink water whenever they need it.

The center expects that this water sharing initiative will encourage routine hydration and help prevent heat-related illnesses, especially considering that extended exposure to heatwaves and high temperatures can place a significant strain on the health of older adults.

Lee Wonyoung, Director of Seobitmaru Senior Center, said, "We have prepared this with the hope that seniors using our center can cool off, even if just for a moment, with a bottle of water during the hot weather."
