So-called cooperatives are legally enterprises and they will managed by fixed system. So Dokgumal is not aim to be cooperative except food sharing activity. Being cooperative will leads to be more focused on profitable activities. But Dokgumal is a loose commuity and chasing profit is against our motto. In this regard we are fundamentally different from cooperatives.

For example there are anti-rock festival and queer film festival. Anti-rock festival aims successful performance by amateur musicians. Anyone can participate and invited. They usually perform acoustic guitar with singing. It is useless to divide perfomer and listener. We just enjoy the moment. In queer film festival, we usually watch uncommon films. Do you know Stephen Chow? A famous film star from China makes movie with B-movie feelings. We also like movies which have special themes and topics such as LGBT, independent form, stories about poor and weak people. 반찬 판매는 협동조합으로 준비 중인 사업이기도 하다.

We initially started with a group of mothers who wants to share children's dishes in Imun-dong. Soon we organized this actvity and sold it to acquaintances. This reuslted in very good response. 반찬을 사가는 지역 주민들도 다양한 편이다. 입간판 보고 들어와서 사가는 이들도 있고, 연세 드신 분들이나 아이 손 잡은 주부님들이 사시는 일도 많다.

The reaction itself is interesting with respect to these activities, or those to come, such as filing a complaint with the various pieces diverge.

교지. 도꼬마리 활동을 하면서 보람은 주로 언제 느끼나? Q. Dokgumal while rewarding activities mainly when neukkina?

There was a lecture held by us which conducted about two and a half hours, and watching everyone was listening was well worthwhile. 사실 초등학생들 앉혀놓으면 40분도 듣지 못할 것이라 생각했다(웃음). In fact, I was thinking of elementary school children will not hear when the topic is about labor and seated 40 minutes in cozy, warm room (laughs). 이런 점에서 생각했던 것 보다 세상이 바뀔 가능성이 크다는 생각을 하게 되었다.The possibility to change this world was bigger than I thought in this regard. 초등학생이 듣기 어려운 주제였을텐데 잘 들어준 점도 고맙고. This was a difficult subject for elementary school students to hear and I feel thankful to students. Also I felt worthiness of our organization for being a platfromto deliver these things.

교지. 인근에서 도꼬마리에 대해 생소하게 생각하는 경우가 있던데, 홍보는 어떻게 진행하고 있나. Q. How about PR and advertising of your group?

There are some people who strange to think about Dokgumal in the neighborhood.현재 홍보는 페이스북과 오프라인 공유공간을 통해 행하고 있다. Currently offline promotion is carried out through Facebook and shared space. We do not feel some needs to make additional newspapers, brochures and medias for us. Members who are interested in these promotional measures is insufficient.

교지. 활동자 모집은 어떻게 하고 있나 Q. How about recruitment?

따로 활동자 모집을 하고 있지는 않다.We  w cadd We do not have offical recruitment system or procedure. 단지 관심이 있는 사람들이 와서 가입을 하게 되는 구조다.Members of us just came as who are interested in the structure, activity and projects of us. 가입조건도 따로 있는 것은 아니고 열린 구조로 운영하고 있다. It is also in a separate join condition is not operating as an open structure.

교지. 구성원 중 대학 재학생 비율은 얼마나 되나. Q. How much members of the university students are in your group? 새로운 회원 유입은 많은편인가?Is there a influx of new members?

Graduates and residents are main members of us. New members are increased in 4 or 5 times compared to starting period. Recently 40-50 people are joining us. There are also some college students but it is the period to enjoy their school life. So their participation is not same with residents. But they feel some interest in us by giving feedbacks by Facebook.

교지. 실제 활동에서 청년에 대한 비중은 어느 정도를 두고 구상하는지 궁금하다. 교지. 실제 활동을 하려면 기본적으로 수익이 나야 할 텐데, 수익은 어떻게 얻나. Q. What about revenue, profits for your community?

먼저 회원들의 후원을 통해 얻는 수익이 있다. Firstly there is money to get through sponsor of our members. 후원 회원들은 자신들이 후원하고 싶은 금액을 선택해서 후원하고 있고, 정회원 같은 경우 매달 만원씩 정기적으로 회비를 받는다.Sponsors select the amount they want to sponsor as if membership dues. WE regularly receive ten thousand won monthly . 그 외에는 되살림 물품 판매나 반찬사업을 통해서 수익을 낸다. Other than that produce revenue through food sharing business. One of the rentals revenue of Dokgumal 공간대여나 도서대여 같은 대여비용도 도꼬마리의 수익중 하나이다. is consist of space rental, or book.

 In other words, a common village community 'stands out' and left-wing enemy colors and seeing people wearing sunglasses. However, one of these we met was only a resident who live their lives on a daily basis directly to. Just as the residents who cares about what to do, live in a more entertaining and more.
