Ryu Yeon-gi, Director of the Yeongsan River Basin Environmental Office, stated, “It is very regrettable that we can only provide support within a limited scope due to COVID-19, but I hope this will be of some help to neighbors in need, and through the practice of sharing, I expect the small value of sharing with marginalized neighbors to expand further.”
