[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yuk-bong] Following the legislative briefing session held for residents of Yangsan and Geon-guk-dong on December 14 last year, Representative Choi Kyung-hwan held his second legislative briefing session in the Unam and Dongnim areas.

Representative Choi Kyung-hwan stated, “Since becoming a member of the National Assembly, I have practiced ‘Geum-gwi Wol-lae’ (going down to the constituency on Friday and returning to Seoul on Monday) as taught by President Kim Dae-jung, meeting residents directly in every corner of the neighborhood to listen to their difficulties and focusing on field-centered legislative activities to resolve local issues,” adding, “I will never lose my original intention and will always be by the residents’ side to improve their quality of life and make Buk-gu a better place to live.”

He continued, “As seen in the impeachment of Park Geun-hye and the passage of the 4+1 Corruption Investigation Office Act, let us build a foundation for the re-creation of progressive reform power through the integration of moderate reform third forces and open a competitive system in Honam politics to protect the rights and interests of Gwangju and Honam,” urging support for the Alternative New Party, which will be launched on the 12th.

In particular, Representative Choi also reported on his overall legislative activities for the truth investigation of the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement, including the process from his representative proposal of the May 18 Truth Investigation Special Act in 2017 to the launch of the Truth Investigation Committee.

Going forward, Representative Choi Kyung-hwan has identified residents’ demands to resolve future local pending projects such as the expansion of Unam Library, the construction of the Unam and Dongnim Complex Center, the undergrounding of Dongun Overpass, the connection of the Urban Railway Line 2 Unam Dongnim branch line, the establishment of a pedestrian network in Jungoe Park, and the creation of a leisure sports district along the Yeongsan River, and plans to reflect these in his future legislative activities.
