  "summary": "Seoul has launched a new volunteer group composed of international residents, marking a new model for civic engagement in the city. The Global Baro Volunteer Corps was officially inaugurated at Seoul City Hall last weekend, with approximately 200 participants, including Deputy Mayor for Administrative Affairs Kim Sung-bo. The group consists of 314 foreign residents from 42 nationalities, including Vietnam, China, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Myanmar, Russia, Kazakhstan, Japan, and Malaysia. The initiative was inspired by the spontaneous participation of foreign residents in municipal relief efforts following wildfires in southern regions and flood recovery in other parts of the city.",
