[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Moon Jun-hee, the mayor of Hapcheon County, Gyeongnam, operated under the slogan "Happy Citizens, Hopeful Hapcheon" to mark the 3rd anniversary of the 7th local government, with administrative goals of communicative empathy administration, a vibrant local economy, revitalized cultural tourism, and shared welfare.

Mayor Moon has promoted 78 projects in four areas?population welfare, cultural tourism, construction and environment, and industrial economy?as campaign promises, completing 39 projects so far and accelerating efforts to complete the rest within his term.

Since the launch of the 7th local government, achieving the 'first' triple title in the budget sector stands out: the first-ever 600 billion KRW achievement (2019 first supplementary budget), the first-ever 700 billion KRW achievement (2020 final supplementary budget, ranked 1st among 10 counties in the province), and the first-ever initial budget of 600 billion KRW (2021).

In 2020, Hapcheon earned an A grade in the nationwide basic local government mayor's pledge fulfillment evaluation, won the excellence award in the climate environment category at the Manifesto Best Practice Competition, and received the comprehensive grand prize at the Korea Local Autonomy Management Awards, achieving a 'grand slam' in local government evaluation fields.

In 2020, Hapcheon was selected as the best county for urban-to-rural attraction support projects, the best county for Neighborly Love in Hope 2020, and an excellent county for infectious disease management.

In 2021, Hapcheon was recognized in various fields including the Korea Creative Management Award (National Safety Service App), the 2021 Consumer Recommended No.1 Brand Award (Hapcheon Pork Soup), and the 2021 K-Wellness Brand Award.

Mayor Moon has promoted large-scale projects such as the construction of the Southern Inland Railway, the development of the Clean Hapcheon New Town, and the establishment of the Hapcheon Clean Energy Convergence Power Complex, and is striving to escape the crisis of county extinction through attracting private investment, including the relocation project of the Han Young Education Foundation.

The top priority of the county administration is expanding the metropolitan transportation network to become a key hub city in western Gyeongnam, constructing the Clean Hapcheon New Town, establishing the Hapcheon Clean Energy Convergence Power Complex, expanding tourism and sports industry infrastructure, building a dense social safety net, nurturing talent, supporting a citizen co-prosperity lifelong education community, providing high-quality welfare services, protecting local commercial districts, expanding the cultural and artistic base, restoring and reorganizing Gaya history, and improving distribution structures to build a prosperous rural community.

Mayor Moon stated, "For three years, I have focused solely on the citizens," adding, "I will successfully settle long-term large-scale projects and properly complete ongoing pending projects to advance the county to the next level."
