The Korea Social Development Awards are prestigious awards given by journalists to individuals, companies (institutions), and organizations who have quietly played a pivotal role or made contributions to social development in various fields, selected by category.

Mayor Kim Chung-seop, who took office as the 7th elected mayor, was recognized for his contributions to regional development under the slogan "Gimcheon, where all citizens are happy," including the Happy Together Gimcheon Movement and the successful promotion of the 3rd phase of Gimcheon 1 General Industrial Complex.

The award ceremony was originally scheduled to be held at the Korea Press Foundation at the end of last year, but was canceled due to the government's prohibition on gatherings of more than five people in the metropolitan area amid COVID-19. The chairman and executives of the Korea Newspaper Broadcasting Club recently visited Gimcheon City Hall in person to deliver the award certificate.

Mayor Kim Chung-seop expressed his acceptance speech, saying, "Thank you for this precious award. I will continue to do my best to create a city where all citizens are happy."
