This event was organized to directly deliver approximately 4,700 servings of patbingsu to residents via a food truck, provide information on how to prevent heat-related illnesses during the summer heatwave, and listen to residents' everyday concerns.

At the Dadae 4 district, a professional residential welfare worker participated to offer tailored consultations for vulnerable residents, providing practical assistance such as improving living conditions and offering medical support.

Despite the intense heat, residents enjoyed a refreshing break by sharing patbingsu together and expressed their gratitude, saying, "It is a great comfort that you visited us in person and provided snacks."

Shin Changho, President of Busan Urban Corporation, said, "It was a meaningful time to overcome the heat together and communicate with our neighbors," and added, "We will do our utmost to establish a meticulous care system in permanent rental apartments and improve housing welfare for citizens."
