This event was organized to express gratitude to long-term care workers who are dedicated at the forefront of elderly care in the current super-aged society, and to reaffirm the roles and value of long-term care professionals.

Approximately 400 people, including long-term care institution workers, attended the event, which featured a commemorative ceremony, awards for distinguished service, a screening of the film "Plan 75," and a celebratory performance of folk songs, fostering a spirit of unity.

Mayor Joo Gwangdeok, who attended the event, stated, "Care is not a choice but a responsibility that society must share. Thanks to the dedication of long-term care workers, Namyangju City is becoming a place where seniors can live with peace of mind."

He added, "Going forward, we will spare no institutional and administrative support so that you can continue to work with pride and stability."
