[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] The Seocho-gu Single-Person Household Support Center is conducting the ‘Eating Alone Project’ for single-person households who have to spend the Lunar New Year holiday alone.

The Seocho Single-Person Household Support Center is a welfare institution established by Seocho-gu as the first basic local government to provide health, safety, living, and relationship care services for single-person households.

According to last year’s Seoul Single-Person Household Survey, 55% of respondents said that the most difficult part of living alone was preparing meals.

Accordingly, the center is preparing convenient meals such as Mille-feuille Nabe, soft-boiled eggs, and probiotic drinks that are easy to cook alone, and will deliver them to a total of 300 single-person households starting from the 16th. Delivery will be made directly to the doorstep by hy (formerly Korea Yakult) Fresh managers.

Especially this year, professional counselors from the center will also participate to support single-person households with vulnerable living environments and health. They will visit homes in person to deliver food and check on well-being, alleviating loneliness and emotional hunger, and will provide information on various support projects for single-person households.

Previously, the center received great responses by supporting single-person households with easy-to-cook meals such as beef bulgogi hot pot and steak during last Chuseok and year-end.

Meanwhile, the center is promoting various care projects for the four major difficulties of single-person households?‘when sick, when inconvenient, when anxious, when lonely’?through services such as Seoripul Health 119, Seoripul Counselor, and Seoripul Ddukdakyi. For more details, contact the Seocho Single-Person Household Support Center.

A district official stated, “We hope that single-person households spending the holiday alone at home will enjoy a warm and happy holiday by preparing and eating nutritious meals.”
