Jeonnam Governor Kim Young-rok Encourages Residents of Haenam After Earthquake

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeonnam Province, recently visited the Sanimyeon area in Haenam, where more than 70 earthquakes have occurred, to hear opinions on the current status of the earthquakes and the investigation of their causes, and to encourage the residents.

According to Jeonnam Province on the 21st, those present at the site included Governor Kim, Provincial Assembly members Kim Seong-il and Jo Gwang-young, Haenam County Mayor Myeong Hyeon-gwan, Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration Chief Lee Mi-seon, and local residents.

Although the Haenam area had not experienced earthquakes before, the recent earthquakes have caused anxiety among residents who had regarded the area as an earthquake-safe zone.

Currently, the Korea Meteorological Administration is investigating the cause by installing a temporary observation network around the epicenter.

Governor Kim said, “I ask the Meteorological Administration to do their best for a swift and accurate investigation of the cause,” and added, “Jeonnam Province will also actively cooperate to ensure there are no difficulties in identifying the cause and will strengthen education and training for safety so that residents do not experience confusion in the event of future earthquakes.”
