The event, hosted by the Mapo Cultural Center, was attended by Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo District, the head of the Mapo Cultural Center, the Director of Tourism and Economy, and the head of Seogang-dong, among others.
Mayor Park Gang-su said, “I participated in the Ipchunchuk posting event with the hope that all residents of Mapo District will be healthy and happy,” and added, “In 2025, Mapo District will continue to work solely for the happiness of its residents.”
