Jang Man-chae Preliminary Candidate: "I Will Create Buildings Befitting Suncheon’s History and Prestige"

Few Historical Sites or Monuments Reflecting Suncheon’s 700-Year History

Construction of the North Gate of the Eupseong Fortress and Jeolla’s First Gate to Revitalize the Old Downtown

Expected Synergy with Suncheon’s Urban Regeneration Proje

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jang Man-chae, a preliminary candidate for the Democratic Party of Korea for Suncheon National Assembly, announced on the 19th, "I will create buildings and symbols befitting the history and status of Suncheon, the No. 1 city in Jeonnam."

In a press release on the 18th, candidate Jang pointed out, "Suncheon has almost no relics or monuments befitting its 700-year history, and the artificially created cultural street is recognized as the 700 years of Suncheonbu."

He emphasized, "I will build the North Gate of the Eupseong, a symbol of Suncheonbu, and Jeolla's No. 1 gate to attract more tourists to the old downtown area."

He also explained, "If the North Gate of the Eupseong is restored at the Medical Center Square and linked with the traditional market Utsijang, the cultural street, and the central market, it will greatly boost the improvement and revitalization of the old downtown area in conjunction with urban regeneration projects around Jangcheon-dong, Jeojeon-dong, and Suncheon Station."

Candidate Jang also said, "I will build an Iljumun gate in the form of a traditional house near Seonpyeong Samgeori and Suncheon IC, name it Jeolla's No. 1 gate, restore the historical significance of the 700-year-old Suncheonbu Eupseong, and make it a guide for the ecological tourism city of Suncheon."

This project by candidate Jang Man-chae is a follow-up pledge to create a "dignified cultural and artistic city Suncheon." By implementing various cultural policies, it appears to be a commitment to establish Suncheon as a nationwide cultural city, thereby actively contributing to maximizing tourism resources and revitalizing the local economy.

Candidate Jang Man-chae served as a professor and president of Suncheon National University and was the 16th and 17th Jeonnam Superintendent of Education.
