Director Kim Juyang said, “Currently, our rural areas are facing the risk of extinction due to rapid aging and population decline, and to delay this rural extinction as much as possible, improving living conditions in rural areas is most necessary,” adding, “We will actively cooperate with the Gyeongsangnam-do Volunteer Center to revitalize rural areas at risk of extinction so that they become rural areas where people visit and want to live.”
