Welcome to Suncheon Transfer

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 3rd that it will hold a ‘Suncheon-e On (ON) Geudae’ welcome event for citizens who have moved in from other regions.

The Suncheon-e On (ON) Geudae event was planned to share the daily lives and moving-in stories of university students living in one-room apartments and citizens who have settled in Suncheon after moving from other areas. It consists of three parts: ‘I am also a Suncheon citizen,’ ‘Suncheon-e On Geudae Story Content Contest,’ and ‘Is this your first time in Suncheon? Moving-in Citizens Chat.’

First, the ‘I am also a Suncheon citizen’ university student moving-in certification photo event offers gifticons to the first 50 people who upload a certification photo on SNS after registering their move-in, upon verification of their moving-in status.

The ‘Suncheon-e On Geudae Story Content Contest’ targets citizens who have moved in within the last three years, inviting submissions of videos longer than 3 minutes or webtoons with more than 8 panels that express their impressions and daily life after settling in. Winners will receive gift certificates: 300,000 KRW for the grand prize, 200,000 KRW each for excellence awards, and 100,000 KRW each for encouragement awards.

Additionally, from March until the end of this month, the city plans to hold a ‘Warm Chatting Session’ to understand the needs of new residents and help them settle in Suncheon with affection and a sense of ownership.

A city official stated, “Suncheon City has excellent sustainable living conditions including ecological culture, tourism, and education, leading to a steady increase in newcomers from other regions. However, many residents who have not updated their address to Suncheon are excluded from various benefits. We especially ask university students to register their address in Suncheon to enjoy various youth policy benefits.”

Meanwhile, the city has maintained its status as one of the three major cities in Honam, along with Gwangju and Jeonju, since last November.
