Yongin Mayor Baek Goon-gi: "Let This Be a Seed for Spreading Mature Apartment Community Culture"

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun] Yongin Mayor Baek Goon-gi attended a special concert organized by residents of an apartment complex in the city, taking time to encourage residents and engage with them.

On the 15th, the 'Small Dream Garden Concert' was held at Bojeong Hanwha Dream Garden Apartment in Giheung-gu.

The concert was organized directly by apartment residents with support from the city's 'Village Community Contest Project' conducted this year.

Since 2019, residents of Bojeong Hanwha Dream Garden have been hosting concerts, cultural lectures, and book discussion forums to promote a culture of harmony and consideration among residents.

At the concert, diverse pieces including 'Lindar March,' 'The Toreador Song,' 'This Moment,' and 'Waltz of Spring' were performed through woodwind trios, clarinet, flute, saxophone, and violin.

Following this, special memories were created through poetry recitations by Chae Sun-jung, chairwoman of the Yongin Literary Recitation Association, and Kim Gwang-mi, advisor.

At the event, Mayor Baek said, "I am delighted that a special gathering where residents can come together has been arranged in an era where regionalism and individualism are prevalent," and added, "I hope that this small concert will continue to be held and become a seed for spreading a mature apartment community culture."

Meanwhile, since 2015, the city has been conducting the Village Community Contest Project to vitalize community activities. This year, a total of 78 village communities selected from the contest are scheduled to receive city budget support and implement various projects including program operations and space creation to engage with residents, and network activation.
