Hoping that the Han River can become the true lifeline for the citizens, the volunteers showed a performance of pouring mineral water into the Han River from the Cheonho Bridge.

After the performance, all the attendants picked up waste in the Han River Citizen Park. They cleaned every place, picking up even pieces of glass, cigarettes and so on.
