[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] Gwangyang City, Jeonnam, announced on the 29th that it will hold the ‘27th Gwangyang Citizens' Day’ commemorative ceremony at 10 a.m. on October 8th at the Gwangyang Community Center to foster pride and love for the hometown as citizens of Gwangyang.

The city will hold the Citizens' Day commemorative ceremony with a minimum number of participants, and to allow citizens who cannot attend in person to participate, the ceremony will be broadcast live on the YouTube channels ‘Oroti Gwangyang’ and ‘Gwangyang City Hall’.

The event will proceed in the following order, starting with a pre-ceremony performance by the Municipal Gugak Orchestra: ▲ congratulatory video from sister cities ▲ reading of the Citizen Charter ▲ awarding of the ‘Citizen Award’ and the ‘Proud Gwangyang Citizen Award’ ▲ demonstration of the new Citizens' Song ▲ and the Hydrogen City Vision proclamation ceremony.

In particular, the newly revised ‘Gwangyang Citizens' Song,’ which was completely revised due to previous pro-Japanese controversy, will be publicly presented to citizens for the first time by the Municipal Choir.

Additionally, the city plans to announce the vision of becoming a hydrogen economy-centered city through various performances, fostering the hydrogen industry as Gwangyang’s future new growth strategic industry and transitioning to a low-carbon society, thereby informing citizens of Gwangyang’s future outlook.

The event will be conducted in strict compliance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines, including venue disinfection, temperature checks for entrants, hand sanitization, and social distancing.
