District Chief Hwang Gyu-don said, "Jump rope is a community sports activity that anyone can easily enjoy while also developing physical strength, concentration, and cooperation. I hope this competition, in which diverse generations from youth to general adults participate together, will serve as an opportunity to spread a healthy leisure culture and bring new vitality to our local community."
