[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Seo Daeseok) announced on the 27th that it selected six outstanding regulatory reform ideas through the Regulatory Reform Committee review held on the 26th.

This regulatory reform idea contest was conducted to discover and improve administrative regulations and systems that cause inconvenience in daily life or hinder business activities.
