The Seongbuk-gu Dong Community Security Council was established in 2011. Currently, 521 members are promoting 142 special projects.

This year, due to difficulties in face-to-face activities caused by COVID-19, many non-face-to-face projects were implemented to ensure that those facing livelihood difficulties and vulnerable groups are not neglected, such as non-face-to-face welfare checks and activation of health product support. Representative projects include the ‘Smart LTE Care Plug Service’ and the ‘Angel Phone Operation Communicating via SNS.’

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you for always being close to the residents and providing help. I hope you will continue to tirelessly work on the front lines to improve residents’ welfare.”
