Singer Park Seojin Moved by Mapo-gu Filial Piety Meal, Donates 15 Million Won

'Janggu God' Park Seojin donated 15 million KRW to the filial piety meal program in Mapo-gu.

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) announced that singer Park Seojin performed a spectacular stage at the '17th Mapo Naru Salted Shrimp Festival' held on the evening of the 20th at Peace Square in World Cup Park and donated 15 million KRW to the 'Filial Piety Meal' fund, which provides lunch to the elderly.

On the 7th of last month, Park Seojin appeared at the ‘Day Perfect for Loving’ Lycoris Festival held at the ‘Poet’s Street’ in Nanji Theme Tourism Forest in Mapo-gu, and was moved by Mapo-gu’s integrated welfare project for the elderly, ‘Filial Piety Meal,’ expressing his intention to donate, adding to the emotional impact.

The donation ceremony for the Filial Piety Meal held at the Salted Shrimp Festival was attended by Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, singer Park Seojin, and Lee Hong-ju, Chairman of the Mapo Welfare Foundation, and visitors to the festival also cheered for Park Seojin’s donation.

On this day, Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “I sincerely thank singer Park Seojin for his generous donation along with a wonderful performance,” and added, “Mapo-gu will make good use of the precious donation to operate the Filial Piety Meal program for the elderly.”

Mapo-gu’s ‘Filial Piety Meal’ is regarded as the nation’s top welfare project for the elderly, initiated by Mayor Park Gang-su during his 8th term, providing lunch to seniors aged 75 and older, encouraging them to greet each other and interact, thereby promoting a healthy old age.

In particular, it goes beyond simply providing a meal by also offering various tax and health consultations, making it extremely popular among the elderly in Mapo-gu.

Because of this, President Yoon Suk-yeol publicly expressed at a livelihood discussion meeting that he hopes other districts will also promote projects like Mapo-gu’s Filial Piety Meal, sparking a nationwide benchmarking enthusiasm.
