Sejong Establishes Institutional Foundation Including Creation of Hangeul Love Street
[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City has established an institutional foundation for creating a Hangeul Love Street and other initiatives.
According to the city on the 16th, the Sejong City Council amended the "Sejong City Hangeul Love Support Ordinance" at the regular meeting held the day before.
Through the amendment, the city defined the Hangeul Love City and enabled the establishment and operation of a permanent committee called the "Hangeul Love Committee," which has advisory and deliberative functions when promoting Hangeul advancement policies.
Additionally, a basis was established to support building owners and advertisers participating in the improvement of outdoor advertisements for the creation of the Hangeul Love Street.
The ordinance amendment was proposed by Councilor Cha Seong-ho, vice-chairman of the Administrative Welfare Committee of the City Council.
Previously, the ordinance, enacted in 2014, stipulated the mayor's responsibilities, the establishment and implementation of promotion plans, and the display of Hangeul on advertisements and other materials.
Since its launch in 2012, the city has named neighborhoods and roads in Hangeul. It is also operating policies and projects such as the Sejong Citizen University "Jiphyeonjeon" and the local currency "Yeominjeon."
In particular, among metropolitan local governments nationwide, Sejong was the first to establish a dedicated department for Hangeul promotion called the "Hangeul Promotion Division," and last year responded to citizens' voices hoping for the development of a Hangeul Love City through the Citizen Impression Special Committee.
