Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will sign a business agreement today (27th) at 11:00 a.m. in the International Protocol Room of City Hall with World Vision and ZM-ILLENNIAL to support socially isolated and withdrawn households.

This agreement has been prepared to respond to the growing issue of socially isolated and withdrawn households caused by economic hardship and the breakdown of social relationships. It aims to establish support spaces for such households through public-private cooperation and to build a foundation for revitalizing local communities.

The signing ceremony will be attended by Mayor Park Heong-joon, Kim Soon-i, Head of Domestic Programs at World Vision, and Park Hyun-soo, CEO of ZM-ILLENNIAL, who will pledge mutual cooperation to strengthen the support system for socially isolated and withdrawn households.

Under this agreement, the city will oversee overall responsibilities including project planning, operation, supervision, and promotion. World Vision will provide funding for the creation of support spaces for socially isolated and withdrawn households, while ZM-ILLENNIAL will sponsor food and other supplies necessary for operating the spaces. The city also plans to continue cooperative initiatives to support these households in the future.

Mayor Park Heong-joon stated, “Amid intensifying competition and growing uncertainty, the increase in single-person households and the weakening of social networks have made isolation and social withdrawal no longer an issue affecting only a few, but a social challenge that can affect anyone. We are working to gradually implement various projects, including the creation of support spaces and programs for relationship recovery, and to build a cooperative system with the local community.”
