Korea Gas Corporation (President Choi Yeonhye) announced that it will begin emergency support from the 26th to assist residents of jjokbangchon (tiny room villages) who are vulnerable to heatwaves during the extreme summer season.

To provide practical assistance to jjokbangchon residents, Korea Gas Corporation conducted a prior survey to determine necessary items and prepared "Onnuri Sharing Boxes" containing essential food supplies and summer functional clothing.

Additionally, Korea Gas Corporation plans to operate a "Heatwave Monitoring Team" in cooperation with local jjokbang counseling centers to carefully monitor the health and safety of jjokbang residents during the extreme summer period.

A Korea Gas Corporation representative said, "As this summer is forecasted to be one of the hottest on record, we will continue to carry out community-based social contribution activities to support neighbors in need of care during heatwaves."

Meanwhile, since 2011, Korea Gas Corporation has supported approximately 4,900 jjokbangchon residents annually by providing "Onnuri Sharing Boxes" through ten jjokbang counseling centers nationwide.
