The whole length of the mural is 80 meters.

Heon Tae Kim, a 62 years old local living in Su Taek-dong, said as he was taking pictures in front of the painted mural with his grandson “We will visit again to take a photo together with the whole family members”.

Elders from Won Chon senior club remarked “We are grateful to the volunteers who are giving away free lunch boxes (pink bojagi) every week and a free haircut. I feel like we are receiving so much. I also want to thank them for preparing our resting area with this volunteering event”.

A young member from the volunteers said “It is always easier said than done. I didn’t expect drawing to be such a delicate work. However, I felt really proud when the passers-by complimented saying the mural looked beautiful and cute. I am happy that I volunteered for this event”.
