Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “With the development of information and communication technology, people distribute knowledge and information through various digital media, so education to properly understand and utilize media is necessary,” and added, “I hope residents develop the ability to effectively use media and communicate healthily with media through this education.”
