[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Mapo-gu (Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun) will implement quarantine measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 ahead of Halloween Day (October 31).
This year's Halloween Day is a festival day welcoming the phased daily recovery scheduled to begin in November, and a large crowd is expected to gather near Hongdae.
Accordingly, the district installed a ‘Mobile Temporary Screening Clinic’ in front of the Hongdae Public Parking Lot (408-9 Seogyo-dong), near Exit 1 of Sangsu Station on Line 6, to increase the rate of proactive COVID-19 testing among citizens visiting Hongdae and to block early community transmission.
The temporary screening clinic, installed on the 25th, will operate until November 13, with testing hours from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Anyone, regardless of symptoms, including foreigners and locals, can receive free testing. However, it will not operate on Sundays.
With this additional temporary screening clinic, the district now operates a total of four screening clinics: ▲Mapo-gu Public Health Center Screening Clinic ▲Sogang University Station Plaza Temporary Screening Clinic ▲Hongik Cultural Park Temporary Screening Clinic ▲Hongdae Public Parking Lot Temporary Screening Clinic.
Additionally, from Thursday to Sunday each week, the district operates a COVID-19 enforcement response team together with the Hongik Police Station to tighten quarantine measures in the Hongdae area, which may become lax ahead of the festival and daily recovery phases.
The enforcement response team consists of two groups, each with one Mapo-gu office staff member and two Hongik Police officers, operating from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., enforcing ▲outdoor gathering bans ▲mask-wearing ▲quarantine rules ▲basic order violations.
Before the easing of private gathering restrictions, from September 30 to October 17, Mapo-gu and Seoul Mapo Police conducted special quarantine inspections throughout the Hongdae area.
During the inspection period, a total of 10 special quarantine operations were conducted, with a large-scale quarantine campaign involving 617 Mapo-gu officials, 1,006 Seoul Mapo Police officers, and 40 private organizations.
From Thursday to Sunday each week, about 150 personnel conducted foot patrols to strengthen quarantine campaigns. Especially after reports of many foreigners without masks on streets or parks after 10 p.m., enforcement teams were organized to focus on violations of quarantine rules and basic order.
Furthermore, on the 21st, Mapo-gu Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun and tourism industry workers disinfected the ‘Hongdae Festival Street’ and ‘Hongdae Walking Street’ areas to ensure safe tourism for citizens visiting Hongdae after the phased daily recovery.
Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun said, “Citizens visiting Hongdae to enjoy the Halloween festival are encouraged to take a moment for proactive COVID-19 testing before having a good time,” and added, “Mapo-gu will make every effort to achieve both support for daily recovery and quarantine.”
Seocho-gu (Mayor Cho Eun-hee) has supported young entrepreneurs in social economy enterprises by selecting and supporting a total of 23 teams of young entrepreneurs since April to revitalize the Seocho-type cultural and artistic social economy ecosystem amid difficulties caused by COVID-19.
‘Social economy enterprises’ are business models that solve social problems with creative ideas while simultaneously pursuing corporate profits, social value, and job creation. The selected teams consist of 5 teams in music and performance, 6 teams in art and design, 6 teams in video and content, and 6 teams in education and literature.
The selected teams receive support from April to December this year according to their business growth stages, including ▲initial business support funds (up to 10 million KRW) ▲rental fees for business premises (up to 4.5 million KRW). In addition to initial startup funding, continuous startup capability enhancement education programs have been provided to support young entrepreneurs who still find starting a business difficult.
Especially, various consulting and community programs such as ▲one-on-one expert startup consulting ▲young entrepreneur networking ▲excellent senior company lectures ‘Youth Academy’ are systematically operated, playing an important role in helping early startup success and growth. Participant surveys recorded a very high satisfaction rate of over 97%.
This shows that despite the cultural and artistic sector's stagnation due to COVID-19, various achievements such as early startup success and new job creation have been made. The social economy cultural and artistic youth startup support project conducted by the district has received many positive reviews.
# ‘Kinolights’ (CEO Yang Jun-young), operating an OTT integrated search platform, is in its second year participating in this project. Although it faced difficulties during business promotion, it overcame them with rental fee and various consulting support. Recently, it surpassed 200,000 cumulative app downloads and was selected as a winner of the 2021 Korea Mobile Awards.
# ‘Story & Speech’ (CEO Kim Min-ji) succeeded in starting a business this year with district support. It provides show host and speech education targeting women and has been recognized for its expertise, attracting 130 million KRW investment from the Korea Communications Agency and actively planning and conducting live commerce for various institutions.
Meanwhile, the district has supported the successful startup of a total of 65 teams (about 200 people) in the cultural and artistic fields over the past four years.
Seocho-gu Mayor Cho Eun-hee said, “I wanted to provide practical help to young entrepreneurs in the cultural and artistic fields who are going through difficult times due to COVID-19,” and added, “Through this project, we will actively support young people in Seocho, a cultural and artistic city, to realize their dreams of cultural and artistic startups.”
Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Sung-soo) announced that on the 28th, it will hold the ‘Korean Traditional Musical Instrument Academy Presentation Performance’ at the Songpa-gu Office auditorium, where foreign residents and tourists can directly experience, learn, and perform traditional Korean musical instruments.

Nowon-gu (Mayor Oh Seung-rok) is conducting the 2021 Democratic Citizenship Education to cultivate the qualities and knowledge required as democratic citizens and to foster mature democratic citizens.
Nowon-gu enacted the ordinance on democratic citizenship education in 2017 and has been steadily promoting related projects. This year marks the fourth year of education, designed to help residents learn the basic principles of democracy together and enable them to practice shared values independently.
This year’s lectures are themed ‘Democracy Reflected in Culture and Arts.’ To provide mental rest to residents who may be socially fatigued due to COVID-19, familiar culture and arts were selected as the education theme.
The education consists of a series of three lectures, held every Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. for about two hours at the auditorium on the 3rd floor of Nowon Lifelong Education Center.
The first lecture, held on the 27th, featured historian Professor Jeon Woo-yong, who met residents with the topic ‘History of Democracy and Democratic Citizens.’ It was a time to look back on citizens’ efforts for democracy to settle in Korea and to think about the roles we should play as sovereigns today.
On November 3, popular music critic Seo Jeong-min-gap will discuss ‘Democracy Viewed through Music.’ The lecture will explore popular songs that were once banned and the social context of those times, covering changes in censorship standards and the expansion of freedom of expression.
Finally, on the 10th, Professor Jeon Seung-joo from the University of Science and Technology will present ‘The Image of Democratic Citizens in Literary Works,’ exploring Korea’s modern and contemporary history as the background of literary works such as ‘Taebaek Mountains’ and ‘Land,’ and introducing ways to better understand and appreciate these works.
Residents wishing to participate can apply via text message to the Nowon Democratic Citizenship Education Secretariat, and detailed information and lecture introductions are available on the Nowon-gu website’s notice board.
The district plans to provide online participation via YouTube live streaming and will hold a session to share opinions after the lectures to actively reflect residents’ feedback in future education programs.

Jongno-gu (Mayor Kim Young-jong) is promoting an ‘Urban Smart Farm Project’ using information and communication technology (ICT) in cooperation with local schools as part of the ‘Sustainable Development Practice Project.’
On the 26th, Jongno-gu signed a business agreement with Seoul National University Elementary School (Principal Kim Gwi-sook) and Jungang High School (Principal Lee Yong-gyun), pledging mutual cooperation for the smart farm project. Jongno-gu will install smart farms, and the schools will maintain, repair, manage facilities, and operate programs.
‘Smart Farm’ is a compound word of Smart and Farm, referring to farms that apply ICT to agriculture to manage crop growth environments and improve production efficiency.
Sensors automatically supply nutrients and water needed for plant growth, control light, temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Remote environment control and data monitoring are possible, making it a convenient and smart agricultural system suitable for the 4th industrial era.
The district plans to complete installation of smart-controlled plant cultivators capable of planting about 130 units by November and conduct eco-friendly vegetable harvesting and related education once per school in December. The two schools will continue to use the smart farm facilities in curricula and science club activities.
Before the agreement, residents participating in the Jongno-gu Sustainable Development Policy Participation Group actively engaged in the entire project process, including forming the ‘Healing Smart Farm Implementation Group’ in May and selecting installation sites.
Among the two selected schools, Seoul National University Elementary School was designated as a 2021 Ecological Transition Education Focus School by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, and Jungang High School actively continues environmental club activities.
Besides the smart farm project, the schools pledged active participation in the ‘1·1·1 (One Person Reduces One Ton of Greenhouse Gas per Year) Lifestyle Practice Movement Climate Action Practice Council,’ a community activity to respond to climate crisis issues.
Jongno-gu Mayor Kim Young-jong said, “This smart farm project is meaningful because residents directly participated from the early stages, securing sustainability,” and added, “I hope growing students can enhance their understanding of urban agriculture and future industries through smart farm experiences.”
