JDC Love in Jeju's hometown visit project this year, which helps multicultural families settle down, has been completed.

Based on the achievements so far, a plan to expand the business to foreign workers as well as second-generation multicultural families is being promoted.

This is a report from reporter Choi Hyung-seok of KCTV Jeju Broadcasting.

Dintihuong visited his hometown of Vietnam for the first time in five years.

I always miss my hometown, but it was a more desperate journey as it was difficult to find time as the children grew up in their busy daily lives.

Although living in Jeju is more comfortable now, it is incomparable to the comfort given by my hometown.

[Dintihuong / Marriage Migration (Vietnam): Thank you so much. And I would love it if you could help other people who haven't been home for a long time. Thank you so much.]

This year's "JDC Love in Jeju" multicultural hometown visit project, designed to help multicultural families settle in stable communities, has all been completed.

This year, nine families with their own stories were provided with expenses for visiting their hometowns in the first and second half of the year.

Although it is said to be better than before, it is still a great help to multicultural families as the economic part is still considered a reason not to be ignored.

[Kim Seok-beom / KCTV Jeju Broadcasting Director: The proportion of multicultural families is increasing, but many of them still can't find their hometowns due to financial difficulties and social conditions]

In particular, the hometown visit project is more than just supporting expenses.

This is because it not only improves awareness of multiculturalism, but also gives a synergy effect that gives positive motivation to other multicultural families.

As the visiting group accompanied them, they also give their parents faith that their daughter is living well in Jeju.

KCTV and JDC plan to expand their business to second generations of multicultural families as well as foreign workers living hard in Jeju.

[Kim Hyun-min / JDC Vice Chairman Kim said that the second generation should grow up so that they can play the role of local diplomats and bridge, and our JDC should take an active role....]

Multiculturalism is becoming increasingly important in Jeju.

In order for them to take root as members of society, social attention and continuous support are now needed not only for married migrant women but also for their children and for foreign workers as a whole.

In the future, JDC Love in Jeju plans to expand its scope to multiculturalism, including foreign workers, from a home visit support project for married migrant women.
