Gangseo-gu (District Mayor Jin Gyohoon) held a “Kkakdugi Kimjang Sharing Event” at the Gangseo-gu Volunteer Center on October 21. Around 30 people, including District Mayor Jin Gyohoon and volunteers from volunteer camps in 20 neighborhoods across the district, took part and handled everything from preparing the ingredients and mixing in the seasoning to packing the kimchi.


The event produced 500 boxes of kkakdugi, each weighing 2 kg. The district plans to deliver them to 500 vulnerable households, including recipients of basic livelihood benefits and older adults living alone.



“I hope the small act of kindness we prepared together with the volunteers will bring comfort to our neighbors in need,” District Mayor Jin Gyohoon said. “We will take attentive care to help vulnerable groups get through the winter warmly.”
