Provincial Assembly Member Nam Taek-wook, "Decision to Host Lee Kun-hee Art Museum in Seoul Goes Against Regional Balanced Development"

"Government Should Propose Alternatives to Contribute to Cultural Democracy by Establishing Branch Offices in Gyeongnam, Including Uiryeong-gun"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] The Gyeongnam Provincial Council announced on the 8th that non-capital region local governments are strongly opposing the government's decision on the 7th to locate the Lee Kun-hee Art Museum in Seoul.

In particular, Gyeongnam Province was evaluated to have the greatest competitiveness compared to other local governments due to its geographical advantage that can attract potential tourists.

Nam Taek-wook, a provincial council member (Democratic Party, Changwon 4), has been leading the government proposal from the Gyeongnam Provincial Council and organizing rallies to urge the attraction of the Lee Kun-hee Art Museum to Gyeongnam, including Uiryeong County.

Regarding the government's decision, Councilor Nam stated, "The decision to locate the Lee Kun-hee Art Museum in Seoul is a misjudgment that goes against balanced regional development," and expressed his opinion, "We urge the cancellation of the location decision, and if the government cannot reverse the decision, it should consider establishing a branch of the art museum in Gyeongnam."
