[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the 26th at 4 p.m., Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon District Office, attended the ‘Anti-Corruption Integrity City Yangcheon Proclamation Ceremony and Integrity Live Education’ held at the Yangcheon Digital Media Center, where he took an oath together with the staff to reaffirm the public officials' commitment to integrity.

About 450 employees from the district office and related organizations participated in the event both on-site and online (via YouTube channel ‘Yangcheon TV’).

Following the proclamation ceremony, the integrity live education featured an integrity musical and a special lecture on integrity, providing the employees with an opportunity to naturally internalize the value of ‘integrity’ through this event.

On the 26th at 3 p.m., Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon District Office, visited the Gangwon Province agricultural products direct transaction market held at Junggye Neighborhood Park.

The direct transaction market, running until 6 p.m. on the 27th, was organized to support farmers in Gangwon Province while providing residents with high-quality food products directly sold by producers, ensuring trustworthiness.

The market consists of 40 sales booths, with major items including Gangwon Hanwoo beef, mushrooms, deodeok (Codonopsis lanceolata), and fermented sauces. Various events are also ongoing, such as giving out shopping bags for purchases over 50,000 KRW.

During the event, a donation ceremony took place. Expressing gratitude for expanding sales channels for traditional markets and directly producing farms in Gangwon Province, participating merchants collected part of their sales revenue and donated 3.5 million KRW to the district.

Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, “This event was organized to ease the residents’ concerns about rising food prices even a little,” adding, “We will continue to strive to activate a ‘good consumption’ market where everyone can be happy together.”

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun District (second from the left), visited the Jungnangcheon Urban Agriculture Experience Center on the morning of the 26th and planted seedlings together with residents.

On the 26th, Dongdaemun District (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) distributed seedlings for the second half of the year at the Jungnangcheon Urban Agriculture Experience Learning Center.

To prevent theft and rain damage, the district distributed cabbage seedlings and radish seeds for kimchi-making near the pedestrian overpass in front of Jungnangcheon 2nd Sports Park and under Jang-an Bridge. Seedlings will be distributed sequentially until the 28th.

Mayor Lee Pil-hyung of Dongdaemun District visited the Jungnangcheon Urban Agriculture Experience Learning Center on the morning of the 26th, carefully inspecting the seedling distribution site, planting seedlings with residents, encouraging participants, and actively communicating with them.

Mayor Lee Pil-hyung said, “I am glad that the urban agriculture experience learning center, which was damaged by heavy rain, has been quickly restored so that we can plant seedlings together with residents like this,” adding, “We will do our best to manage the urban agriculture experience learning center so that residents can enjoy the joy of farming even in the city.”

Gangnam District (Mayor Jo Seong-myeong) is hosting the ‘2022 Gangnam Design Week’ from the 26th to September 4th, featuring 86 domestic and international interior design companies participating in the event held around Nonhyeon Furniture Street and other specialized streets in the district.

On the 26th at 2 p.m., the district held the opening ceremony at the Gangnam Design Week theme pavilion located on Hakdong-ro.

Since 2020, the district has held this event under the name ‘Gangnam Interior Design Week’ to revitalize the commercial area around Hakdong Station to Nonhyeon Station. This year, the name was changed to ‘Gangnam Design Week’ and the venue expanded to include Cheongdam-dong, Samseong-dong, and Sinsa-dong areas, attracting participation from 86 companies. The plan is to link themed streets such as luxury shopping streets to create a distinctive festival that attracts domestic and international tourists and revitalizes the local economy.

Mayor Jo Seong-myeong, who attended the opening ceremony, said, “I hope many domestic and international tourists visit the design week, now in its third year, so that residents and small business owners can gain vitality,” adding, “We will continue to do our best to design Gangnam District, the economic and cultural center of South Korea, into a more vibrant and lively city.”
