Suncheon-si, the Leading City in Population in Jeonnam Province

As of the end of last month, 281,873 people... 79 more than Yeosu-si

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) has surpassed Yeosu in population, rising as the 'No. 1 city' in Jeonnam.

According to the March population statistics released by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety on the 1st, as of the end of last month, Suncheon City's population was counted at 281,873, an increase of 2,275 compared to December of last year.

Yeosu City, which had the largest population in Jeonnam until now, showed a decrease of 992 people compared to the end of last year, with a population of 281,794.

Suncheon's steady population growth compared to other cities is analyzed to be mainly due to its emphasis on coexistence between nature and humans, cultivating a healing city where one can find peace of mind wherever they walk or breathe. It is also seen as a result of the city's continuous pursuit of an ecological city through its urban policies.

Meanwhile, Iksan City in Jeonbuk, the third largest city in Honam, had a population of 285,431 as of the end of last month, which is 3,558 more than Suncheon. However, if the current population growth trend continues, Suncheon is expected to become the third largest city after Gwangju and Jeonju within this year.
