[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] A road named after Samsung Group founders Chairman Lee Byung-chul and Chairman Lee Kun-hee has been established in Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongnam.

The county announced that the honorary road names "Hoam Lee Byung-chul Daero," incorporating Chairman Lee Byung-chul's pen name, and "Samsung Lee Kun-hee Daero," named after Chairman Lee Kun-hee, were officially designated after review by the Address Committee.

It was reported that Uiryeong-gun is the first in the nation to use the names of Chairman Lee Byung-chul and Chairman Lee Kun-hee as honorary road names to emphasize the connection with Samsung.

Last year, to honor the entrepreneurial spirit of former Chairman Hoam Lee Byung-chul, a native of Jeonggok-myeon, and Chairman Lee Kun-hee, and to hold the Hoam Cultural Grand Festival, the county decided to assign honorary road names and has been in continuous consultation with Samsung Group.

Hoam Lee Byung-chul Daero spans 22 km from Baekgok-ri, Jeonggok-myeon to Pyeongchon-ri, Gungnyu-myeon; Samsung Lee Byung-chul Daero covers 6 km from Mancheon-ri, Uiryeong-eup to Gare-ri, Gare-myeon; and Samsung Lee Kun-hee Daero stretches 11 km from Jeongdong-ri, Yongdeok-myeon to Segan-ri, Yugok-myeon.

Along with the official designation of the honorary road names, the county installed pole-type guide signs for promotion and is designing banner-style honorary road name plates to promote the Hoam Cultural Arts Festival.

In February, honorary road name plates will be installed at 50 locations including traffic lights, utility poles, and street lamps at the start, middle, and end intersections.

The honorary road name "Gwanjeong Lee Jong-hwan Daero," named after Chairman Lee Jong-hwan of Samyoung Chemical Group, known as the trillion-won donation king, was also officially designated.

Gwanjeong Lee Jong-hwan Daero covers a 4 km section from Mujeon-ri, Uiryeong-eup to Jeongdong-ri, Yongdeok-myeon, and honorary road name guide signs have been installed.

The honorary road names can be used until July 27, 2026, and may be reused after review by the Address Information Committee.

County Governor Oh Tae-wan said, "The pride of the residents is growing stronger through the historic figures of proud Uiryeong," and added, "We will devote ourselves to strengthening the ties with Samsung Group and Chairman Gwanjeong Lee Jong-hwan to firmly establish the two great pillars of our county’s economy and education."
