Sejong Hansol-dong 'Hangeul Sarang Street' Renovated

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Hansol-dong in Sejong City will be newly decorated as Hangeul Love Street.

The city announced on the 14th that it has finally selected the Hansol-dong area as the project site for Hangeul Love Street after a recent public recruitment, document screening, and on-site inspection by the selection committee.

Hangeul Love Street is planned to be decorated in outdoor spaces such as around Chorongkkot Children's Park on Noeul 1·3-ro and the plaza of the Hansol-dong First Village 1·3 Complex shopping district, as well as indoor spaces like the BRT Small Art Museum.

Various Hangeul promotion projects will be carried out at the project site, including the installation of Hangeul sculptures, improvement of outdoor advertising signage, and Hangeul-related education and cultural events.

The city plans to dispatch citizen Hangeul security officers to the Hansol-dong area in the second half of this year to conduct on-site surveys of outdoor advertisements and then proceed with the necessary budget allocation for the creation of Hangeul Love Street.

In addition, urban design university education will be provided to the Hansol-dong Residents' Autonomy Association and the Merchants' Association.

Meanwhile, the city is the first among nationwide metropolitan local governments to establish a dedicated department for Hangeul promotion and is working together to create "Sejong, a Hangeul Love City made by the city and its citizens."

Furthermore, the city council is helping to establish an institutional foundation by revising the "Hangeul Love Support Ordinance."

Sejong Mayor Lee Chun-hee said, "The creation of Hangeul Love Street is not a task only for the city’s project departments or Hansol-dong," and added, "We hope for citizens' interest and participation so that Hangeul Love Street can have substance representing Sejong."
