The Jinju Municipal Chapter (head: Won Ho-young) of Gyeongsangnam-do performed free oriental treatment to its mentees consisting of North Korean defector students on January 11.

It also prescribed oriental medicines that fit each mentee to help the students in their growth period maintain their health during winter break and live healthy lives.

“I feel very grateful for the free oriental treatment. I’ll try to control the amount of exercise and food so that So-yeon (not her real name) can grow up healthy,” So-yeon’s mother said.
