[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] With six days remaining until the end of the 2022 Sharing Campaign, the thermometer of the Gyeongnam Love Temperature Tower surpassed 100℃.

The Gyeongnam Community Chest of Korea announced on the 25th that it had achieved the fundraising target for the 2022 campaign.

As of that day, the cumulative amount raised was 8,114 million KRW, exceeding the target amount of 8,037 million KRW by 77 million KRW. The thermometer of the Love Temperature Tower rose to 100.9 degrees.

This year, the 100-degree mark was surpassed three days earlier than last year, achieving 100 degrees for three consecutive years.

Although the sharing temperature remained in the lower ranks nationwide at the beginning of the campaign due to the spread of COVID-19 and the presidential election, the Gyeongnam Community Chest explained that the goal was achieved thanks to the steady interest of Gyeongnam residents and companies.

Kang Ki-cheol, chairman of the Gyeongnam Community Chest, said, "We will repay the great love by delivering the donations to valuable places."
