[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 1st that Bong Jin-moon (58, Local Technical Director), former head of the Forest Conservation Division at the Eastern Regional Headquarters, has been appointed as the 29th Deputy Governor of Wando.

Due to COVID-19, the inauguration ceremony for the new Deputy Governor Bong was replaced with a meeting with department heads and directors, followed by greetings with the staff, and he officially started his duties from the 1st.

Deputy Governor Bong was born in Nampyeong, Naju, graduated from Gwangju Agricultural High School and the Department of Forestry at Chonnam National University, and began his public service career in February 1989 when he was first appointed to the Forest Division of Muan-gun.

Since then, he has served as head of the Forest Development Team, head of the Mountain Conservation Team, and director of Forest Conservation in Jeonnam Province, discovering specialized projects for the globalization of Korean gardens and successfully attracting the National Korean Garden Center to Damyang.

Additionally, he achieved the confirmation of a national subsidy project by discovering the policy for the ‘Southwest Coast Island Forest Restoration Project,’ which involves investing 400 billion KRW in over 3,000 hectares of islands and coastlines across 16 cities and counties including Wando-gun, creating themed forests linked with history, culture, and humanities resources.

This is expected to create a synergy effect with Wando-gun’s key initiatives such as the marine healing industry and the establishment of the National Subtropical Arboretum, enhancing the image of clean Wando.

Deputy Governor Bong Jin-moon said, “I am pleased to be connected with Wando, and I will strive to contribute to the development of the county administration by applying the know-how I have accumulated during my public service career.”

He added, “I will work closely with my colleagues to ensure the smooth progress of major projects such as the marine healing industry, the establishment of the National Subtropical Arboretum, and the hosting of the 2021 Wando International Seaweed Expo, focusing on administration that communicates and consults with the residents.”
