[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Many citizens criticize politicians who visit flood damage sites and take commemorative photos under the pretense of comforting disaster victims as insincere and performative.


When Hwangjeon-myeon in Suncheon City suffered extensive damage due to record-breaking heavy rain, a photo of Yu Young-gap, Chairman of the Administrative Autonomy Committee of Suncheon City Council, rolling up his sleeves and taking the lead in recovery efforts, went viral on SNS.



Assemblyman Yu Young-gap previously served as the Youth Director of the Suncheon City Farmers' Association and as the Beef Countermeasure Committee Chairman of the Gwangju-Jeonnam Federation of the National Farmers' Association. He has been a member of the Suncheon City Council for the 7th and 8th terms and currently serves as the Chairman of the Administrative Autonomy Committee of the Suncheon City Council.
