Jeonbuk Muju-gun, 'Bright Light for Advancing Muju Current Projects'

Proposal to Jeonbuk Province on Establishing an International Taekwondo Academy and Other Pending Issues

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Go Dallyoung] Muju County requested Jeonbuk Province on the 16th to ensure the smooth progress of the establishment of the International Taekwondo Academy and the improvement project of National Road No. 30 facilities.

Jeonbuk Province is promoting on-site administration in cities and counties to seek ways to revitalize the Jeonbuk regional economy, which has been frozen due to the national disaster of COVID-19.

On this day, Woo Beom-gi, Deputy Governor for Political Affairs, visited Anseong Industrial Complex and Taekwondowon respectively, held meetings with businesspeople and Taekwondowon officials, and listened to the projects that Muju County is prioritizing.

First, at Anseong Industrial Complex, he met with businesspeople seeking a way out amid economic stagnation, explained Muju County’s economic industry, local industrial complex, and the status of resident companies, and listened to the difficulties faced by companies.

In particular, at a meeting held at Anseong Industrial Complex with Muju County officials and businesspeople participating, discussions were held on corporate policy support and cooperation plans, and a site inspection of the prospective social enterprise Cheonmani Factory was conducted, encouraging the workers.

Then, Deputy Governor Woo moved to Muju Taekwondowon in Socheon-ri, Seolcheon-myeon, Muju County, and had a discussion with Lee Kyung-jin, Deputy County Governor, and other county executives about urgent issues such as reflecting policies for the establishment of the International Taekwondo Academy within Muju County.

The International Taekwondo Academy is scheduled to be established in the private investment facility district of Taekwondowon, Seolcheon-myeon, Muju County, and a service fee of 300 million KRW was requested in the 2021 national budget from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

At the site of the National Road No. 30 facility improvement project, Muju County requested that the project be smoothly promoted, stating that the section of National Road No. 30 connecting Socheon-ri, Seolcheon-myeon and Cheolmok-ri, Mupung-myeon has poor alignment and narrow width, causing safety accident risks.

Deputy Governor Woo Beom-gi said, “Anseong Industrial Complex, where 11 companies are located, plays an important role in job creation, so we will share the difficulties of companies and solve them sequentially to make Muju a good place for business,” and added, “Jeonbuk Province will provide administrative support so that the projects prioritized by Muju County can proceed smoothly.”
