[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] The landscape of autonomous districts welcoming the New Year is changing due to the novel coronavirus COVID-19.

Eunpyeong-gu (District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) conducted the 2020 year-end closing ceremony and the 2021 New Year's greeting meeting non-face-to-face through YouTube streaming.

Every year, the year-end closing ceremony and New Year's greeting meeting are major events of the autonomous district where people meet face-to-face to wrap up the year and share well-wishes for the new year. Due to COVID-19 circumstances, Eunpyeong-gu expanded public consensus by explaining the 2021 district administration direction to residents through pre-recorded non-face-to-face videos.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, “We will promote the cultural belt project, which will be the cultural tourism hub connecting Bulgwangcheon Broadcasting Culture Street and Bukhansan Han Culture Special Zone, responsible for the city's future growth engines. We will also promote changes into a leading smart city by integrating digital technology into district administration.”

Additionally, Mayor Kim pledged to do her best in district administration through efforts for well-connected Eunpyeong, improving residents' quality of life, expanding jobs and supporting residents' livelihood stability, and promoting resource circulation society policies.

Furthermore, Mayor Kim expressed her New Year's aspiration to create district administration where residents are truly the owners by emphasizing a solid welfare safety net and village communities.

In the era of hyperconnectivity, the 2021 district administration direction of Eunpyeong-gu is anticipated to expand online-based non-face-to-face approaches throughout the public sector, connecting public and residents, and residents with each other more closely.
