Decision to Maintain the Name Geochang Suseungdae... Cultural Heritage Administration Collects Opinions from Residents
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 10th that the Cultural Heritage Administration finally decided on October 27 to maintain the current name of Geochang Suseungdae.
The controversy over changing the name of Suseungdae began while conducting a comprehensive investigation into the historical authenticity of nationally designated scenic spots and villa gardens, triggered by the historical authenticity controversy of Scenic Site No. 35 ‘Seongnakwon.’ The process involved reviews by related experts and deliberations by the Cultural Heritage Committee.
Regarding this matter, which the Cultural Heritage Administration proceeded with unilaterally without prior consultation with Geochang-gun and its residents, the majority of Geochang citizens actively expressed their opinions both online and offline, wishing to maintain the current name Suseungdae during the notice period.
On September 24, a meeting among institutions and organizations was held under the chairmanship of Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, where a joint petition to maintain the designated name of Geochang Suseungdae was adopted. The petition was delivered during a meeting with the head of the Cultural Heritage Administration.
In particular, on October 27, during the Cultural Heritage Committee meeting, the cultural heritage management officer of Gyeongsangnam-do and the head of the Geochang-gun Culture and Tourism Division attended and appealed to maintain the name Suseungdae.
