Residents of Yangnim-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju, Create Photo Street Featuring Kia's Yang Hyeon-jong
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Residents of Yangnim-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City are undertaking unique projects such as creating a street in Penguin Village displaying action photos of Kia Tigers player Yang Hyeon-jong, and producing a guidebook where owners personally introduce about 280 small and large shops in the area.
On the 22nd, Nam-gu announced that as a result of conducting the 3rd Urban Regeneration Resident Proposal Project contest to encourage residents' interest in the Yangnim-dong urban regeneration project and to successfully promote the project, six excellent proposal projects will be actively pursued.
First, the Penguin Village Welfare Association will embark on the ‘Dosirak (圖詩樂) Alley Creation Project,’ inspired by Yang Hyeon-jong, an alumnus of Hakgang Elementary School, and Yoon Sam-hyun, a poet of winter bird-themed poems who is one of the ten representative contemporary poets of Korea and a professor at Gwangju National University of Education.
The project plans to create an alley in Penguin Village filled with pictures and poetry by producing about 10 photos including still cuts and pitching forms of Yang Hyeon-jong from the Kia Tigers’ championship period, and about 20 works combining Yoon Sam-hyun’s poems and paintings, using UV printing and aluminum frames.
The nonprofit organization Munhwagori Gyeonggye will carry out the ‘Ome! Meosidanga, Byeol Geosi Da Inne’ project to revitalize the Yangnim-dong commercial district.
Among approximately 280 shops located in Yangnim-dong, shop owners wishing to promote their stores through a guidebook will be recruited. Education on advertising methods in the era of one-person media and smartphone photography for advertisements will be provided, enabling shop owners to create a booklet featuring their own introduction and photos they took themselves.
The Nam-gu Tourism Business Cooperative will conduct a project where residents directly photograph modern historical and cultural resources and tourist attractions in the district to produce notepads.
About 1,000 notepads will be produced and distributed to places such as the Yangnim-dong Urban Regeneration Field Support Center, Yangnim-dong Tourist Information Center, and the Dong Administrative Welfare Center to provide them to tourists visiting Yangnim-dong.
Additionally, the nonprofit organizations Yangnim Eundanpung and the newly established Sunshine this year, along with the Yangnim-dong Residents’ Autonomy Committee, will respectively promote a resident-led permanent flea market, a storybook based on the folklore of Gaebi in Yangnim-dong, and a residents’ festival.
