[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ki-woon] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced that it held an explanatory meeting on the theme of "What is a Cultural City?" at 10 a.m. on the 8th at the county office auditorium.

About 300 people attended the meeting, including members of cultural organizations such as the Cultural Center, county council members, and public officials.

A cultural city refers to a city designated to effectively utilize distinctive cultural resources of each region to strengthen cultural creativity, and is designated by the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism according to the Regional Culture Promotion Act.

Thirty local governments are selected and promoted with a project budget of 20 billion won over five years for software, hardware, and humanware projects such as theme belts and training of cultural professionals.

Sinan-gun plans to apply for cultural city designation within the first half of the year by establishing a basic plan service, building governance, and enacting related ordinances.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, "We are promoting the designation of a cultural city with the mindset of taking the first step toward a century-long plan," and added, "We will create a Sinan where culture blooms by promoting the 1-do 1-museum art project, expanding cultural enjoyment opportunities for residents, and striving to enhance the county's brand."

Meanwhile, Sinan-gun aims to be selected as a preliminary city next year and designated as a legal cultural city in 2022.
