[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Youth Promotion Planning Group of the Lee Kun-hee Art Museum Jinju Attraction Committee held a press conference at 11 a.m. on the 10th in the briefing room of Jinju City Hall, focusing on "Opposition to the construction of the Lee Kun-hee Art Museum in the metropolitan area, attraction to Jinju."

The Youth Promotion Planning Group is composed of youth organizations such as the Youth Policy Committee, Youth Network, and student councils from four universities in Jinju City, including Gyeongsang National University.

Jung In-seok, president of the student council at Korea International University, said, "Since art museums are located in metropolitan cities such as metropolitan cities or provincial government offices, young people in local areas suffer from cultural poverty," adding, "New cultural facilities must be expanded in Jinju, a hub city in western Gyeongnam that lacks cultural benefits."

He also stated, "Through remodeling the National Jinju Museum, a landmark of Jinju with history and tradition, the Lee Kun-hee Art Museum can be newly established without large costs," presenting a competitive rationale for attracting the Lee Kun-hee Art Museum to Jinju.
