Candidate Kim Kyung-jin Announces Pledge for the Future Leaders 'Cheongsonyeon'

Construction of Youth-Only Community Center, Modernization of Library and Sports Facilities, etc.

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Kyung-jin, a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly election in Buk-gu (Gap), Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced a "Youth Pledge" on the 13th to create an educational environment where the future leaders, youth, can freely pursue their dreams and hopes.

Candidate Kim stated, "Youth, often called the future growth engine, are extremely important for the nation's future development," and emphasized, "The healthy and proper growth of children and youth must be prioritized above all."

He continued, "Buk-gu, along with Gwangsan-gu, has the most kindergartens (41), elementary (46), middle (18), and high schools (8) within Gwangju City," adding, "With 18.5% of the population aged 0 to 19, policies for children and youth are urgently needed."

He pointed out, "However, public libraries, performance halls, sports and training facilities in Buk-gu are aging and deteriorating, falling below the Gwangju city average," and stressed, "We will expand youth facilities and prepare educational programs that provide various opportunities and experiences for youth."

Candidate Kim plans to build a youth-only community center equipped with study rooms, small group meeting spaces, and performance/presentation halls, and provide diverse leisure and activity spaces for youth through modernization of libraries and sports facilities.

To support students and parents in Gwangju, who are inevitably disadvantaged in entrance exam information compared to the metropolitan area, regular EBS entrance exam briefings and special lectures by star instructors will be institutionalized.

He also intends to offer various supports and opportunities to broaden youth’s choices in careers and paths.

Active support will be provided for experiential education related to promising future jobs in the 4th Industrial Revolution such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Software (SW), and Information Security. Additionally, career and academic mentoring will be conducted by inviting famous local figures active in politics, business, law, medicine, central government, sports, culture, and arts.

Furthermore, to assist the growth of children from low-income families, support for necessary items during growth periods, including cervical cancer vaccinations and sanitary pads, will be significantly expanded.

Candidate Kim said, "We will spare no interest or support so that youth, the hope of the region and the future of Korea, can grow into excellent future growth engines," and added, "As a senior in life, I will do my best to create opportunities where youth can freely explore and realize their dreams."
