Enjoying the Village Festival at Banghwa 2 Complex... Listening to Seniors' Concerns at the Gateball Tournament
On the 18th at 11 a.m., Jin Gyo-hoon, Mayor of Gangseo-gu, Seoul, visited the village festival held at the playground of Banghwa 2 Complex Apartments to spend time communicating with residents.
Mayor Jin said, “Since taking office, I have been dedicating every minute and second solely to diligently managing district affairs to keep my promises to the residents,” and added, “I hope everyone has a joyful and happy time with their neighbors.”
The district held the ‘Banghwa 2 Complex Village Festival’ to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the opening of the Banghwa 2 Comprehensive Social Welfare Center. About 600 people attended the festival, including Jin Gyo-hoon, Mayor of Gangseo-gu, National Assembly member Jin Seong-jun, Kim Ji-yeon, Director of Banghwa 2 Comprehensive Social Welfare Center, and local residents.
The event proceeded in the order of ▲30th anniversary rice cake cutting ceremony ▲celebratory performances ▲time for communication among neighbors.
The celebratory performances featured the Eunhaengnamu Choir, composed of local senior citizens, and the Gangseo 50 Plus Center performance team, which boosted the excitement of the village festival. The adorable sogo drum dance by children from Boseong Daycare and a special performance by Banghwa 2 Welfare Center staff also attracted attention.
Mayor Jin stayed at the venue until the end of the performances, mingling with residents and enjoying the village festival.
Earlier that day, before the ‘Banghwa 2 Complex Village Festival,’ Mayor Jin also visited the ‘28th Gangseo-gu Mayor’s Gateball Tournament’ held at Gachisan Park Gateball Court at 10 a.m.
Listening to the inconveniences faced by senior citizens using the gateball court, Mayor Jin immediately responded on-site that he would review the matter with the relevant department and promptly prepare solutions, earning applause from the seniors.
About 50 local senior citizens participated in the gateball tournament, with 8 clubs competing to showcase the skills they had honed over time.
