Pyeongtaek City Hosts 'Korea-U.S. Kimchi Preparation Sharing' Event with USFK Families

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Pyeongtaek City held a 'Korea-U.S. Kimchi Preparation Sharing' event on the 25th at the Baengseong International Exchange Center, with approximately 50 participants including USFK families, members of Pyeongtaek City's New Community Women's Association, and others.

USFK families, members of the Pyeongtaek City International Exchange Foundation program, and the Pyeongtaek City New Community Women's Association participated, introducing Korean traditional culture of kimchi preparation and working together on filling cabbages.

Pyeongtaek Mayor Jung Jang-seon said, "I appreciate the USFK families and the Pyeongtaek City New Community Women's Association for coming together to practice warm sharing despite the chilly weather. Just as the umami flavor of kimchi deepens as cabbage and filling blend and ripen over time, I hope the friendship between USFK and Pyeongtaek City will grow even deeper through this event."

The kimchi prepared on the day will be delivered to approximately 100 underprivileged households within the city.
