[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do announced on the 13th that it will produce 'Road Name Webtoons' for 72 major arterial roads using Suncheon's symbolic Hooded Crane character, so that anyone can easily and enjoyably understand the road name address system and actively utilize it in daily life.

The webtoon production is carried out in collaboration with the Animation Department of Suncheon National University, using a storytelling method about the local historical origins of the road names and the major buildings and places within the road sections.
