Kim Hak-jin, Seoul Deputy Mayor for Administration, expressed on the afternoon of the 17th during Seoul City Council plenary session questioning by Assemblyman No Seung-jae, "We will be cautious but actively consider lifting the Greenbelt in Bangi-dong based on the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's service results."

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] The Seoul Metropolitan Government has expressed its strong support for attracting the Korea National University of Arts to the Bangi-dong area in Songpa-gu.

On the 17th at 2 p.m., Kim Hak-jin, Deputy Mayor for Administration of Seoul, responded to a question from Seoul City Council member No Seung-jae (Songpa 1, Democratic Party of Korea), stating, “Since Songpa-gu meets the quantitative requirements for attracting K-Arts, if the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s feasibility study yields positive results, we will actively consider lifting the greenbelt (GB) designation in the Bangi-dong area.”

However, Deputy Mayor Kim also indicated that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is conducting a feasibility study for the relocation of K-Arts, and that issues such as lifting the greenbelt will be carefully reviewed after the results are announced.

With Goyang City in Gyeonggi Province and Incheon City actively expressing their intentions to attract K-Arts, it is known that Seoul is preparing various measures to prevent losing out to these regions.

In Songpa-gu, District Mayor Park Seong-su is actively working to attract K-Arts to the Bangi-dong area, receiving support from National Assembly member Nam In-soon as well as Seoul City Council member No Seung-jae.
