[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Lee Jung-woon, a member of the Muan County Council in Jeollanam-do, received the Grand Prize in the Local Assembly category at the 1st Korea Constitutional Award ceremony held on the 14th at the Kukmin Ilbo building in Yeouido, Seoul.

The Korea Constitutional Award is given by the Korea Constitutional Association, composed of former members of the National Assembly, to elected public officials who have contributed to the promotion of national prosperity, establishment of national future strategies, and nurturing of national talents, by evaluating their achievements.

Lee Jung-woon was recognized for his significant contributions to the development of local autonomy through strengthening the professionalism of the county council and productive legislative activities while serving as the chairman of the 8th Muan County Council during the first half of the term.

In particular, he was selected as an awardee for his active efforts over two years in the first half of the term to transform the county council into a working council through vigorous legislative activities and representation of public opinion, as well as his highly acknowledged contributions to responding to the COVID-19 crisis by flexibly managing sessions, actively reviewing supplementary budgets, and cooperating with the executive branch to stabilize public livelihood.

Lee Jung-woon said, “I believe this award was received on behalf of the seven council members who actively carried out legislative activities for the residents during the first half of the term,” and added, “As the COVID-19 crisis continues, I will make further efforts to stabilize public livelihood, including quarantine response and regional economic recovery.”

Meanwhile, this Constitutional Award is highly valued as only 19 people (in the local assembly category) were selected through a strict public contest process in July, targeting all metropolitan and basic local government heads, city and provincial superintendents of education, and local council members nationwide.
