On January 22, Sinan County in South Jeolla Province held a group blood donation event in front of the county office to ensure a stable blood supply and promote a culture of sharing life.

According to the county, this event was organized to mark the New Year, address the issue of blood shortages, and raise awareness about blood donation.
