Kim Chan-il, president of the Ilro-eup Prosperity Association, stated in his opening remarks, “Ilro-eup has a deep cultural and historical heritage along with the Yeongsan River, the lifeline of the southern provinces. With the development of the Oryong district, it is a region with great potential and infinite development ahead. To raise the status of Ilro-eup and create an opportunity for residents' unity and regional development, let us establish ‘Ilro-eup Residents' Day.’”

Additionally, a proclamation ceremony to commemorate the establishment of ‘Ilro-eup Residents' Day’ on the 1st of next month is planned to be held under the auspices of the Prosperity Association.
