[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Choi Young-ho, a preliminary candidate for the Democratic Party of Korea for Gwangju Metropolitan City Dongnam-gap district, announced on the 11th that as a future strategy for the southeastern region of Gwangju, he will "establish a history and culture innovation belt to create the Yeongsangang River area historical and cultural district."


Candidate Choi Young-ho promised, "We will create a Jeollado millennium history and culture memorial park in the Daechon and Nampyeong areas based on Hyangyak, Gossaum, and the spirit of the righteous army. Additionally, we will establish a cultural content industrial valley in Nam-gu Songam Industrial Complex to build an advanced immersive content production cluster involving artists, expedite the establishment of the Korea Culture Technology (CT) Institute, and set up a cooperative system for culture and arts among CGI centers, craft creation villages, and universities."


He emphasized, "Recently, the film Parasite achieved a great feat by winning four awards at the 92nd Academy Awards?the first time for Asia?including Best Original Screenplay, Best International Feature Film, Best Director, and Best Picture. This once again proved that the culture and arts industry is a smokeless factory and a sufficient future food industry."



He added, "In connection with the Asia Culture Center, we will create a modern historical and cultural tourism belt by establishing a symbolic street of modern history and culture stretching from Sajik-dong to Yangnim-dong in Nam-gu and installing an arts and artificial intelligence convergence creation center. Taking advantage of the Moon Jae-in administration's New Southern Policy, we will develop various Asian cultural contents as an Asian cultural capital and foster the local cultural tourism industry."
