Yeongdeungpo-gu District Chief Jo Yu-jin took part in a senior residents' luncheon and samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) sharing event held Wednesday morning at Daelim Church.
The event was organized to boost the health and spirits of elderly residents ahead of the peak summer heat and to foster a sense of community among neighbors. About 500 local seniors attended, along with Jo and some 50 officials and volunteers.
Jo personally served bowls of samgyetang to the elderly guests, wishing them good health through the summer months.
"It was a meaningful occasion to be able to offer seniors a warm and nourishing meal as the hot weather sets in," Jo said. "I will pay closer attention on the ground so that our elderly residents can stay healthy and energized even through this summer's heat waves."
