Gwangju City Councilor Kim Dong-chan Joins 'Low Birthrate Overcoming Relay Campaign'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Dongchan, a member of the Gwangju Metropolitan Council, participated in the 'National Overcoming Low Birthrate Four-in-One Relay Challenge' on the 17th.

According to the Gwangju Metropolitan Council on the 17th, the challenge is a participatory campaign aimed at overcoming the national crisis caused by low birthrate through solidarity and cooperation, and creating a "Korea where we work together, care together, protect together, and are happy together."

The challenge proceeds by posting a photo or video with a low birthrate overcoming catchphrase on personal social media (SNS), then nominating two subsequent participants every week.

Councilor Kim said, "The population decline issue is a common problem for local governments preparing for the 'New Local Autonomy 2.0 Era,' and without fundamental and proactive responses, we will face a bleak future of regional collapse and extinction." He added, "I hope that this small but precious participation will serve as a catalyst, not just a one-time event, but as a foundation that leads to positive social change through sincere approaches."

Meanwhile, Kim, who was recommended by Heo Jeong, former president of the Chonnam National University Alumni Association, nominated Kim Yongjip, chairman of the Gwangju Metropolitan Council, and Lee Yongseop, mayor of Gwangju Metropolitan City, as the next participants.
