[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Yongjip, chairman of the Gwangju Metropolitan Council, who is preparing to run for Nam-gu Mayor of Gwangju in the nationwide local elections this June, will hold a book launch event on the 26th.

The book launch event, held at the Gwangju International Archery Center, will be conducted in a walking-through format from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

At the event, Chairman Kim will present his book, "A Warm-hearted Person, Yes! Kim Yongjip," which contains his life philosophy and legislative philosophy.

The book fully includes articles, greetings, policy statements, interviews, and on-site photos published in the media during his eight years of legislative activity.

Chairman Kim said, "When I first started politics, I made a vow to listen with my heart and communicate through actions, focusing solely on the residents. I wrote this book with the mindset of reflecting on whether I have kept that promise well," adding, "Through this event, I hope to hear more advice and policy suggestions from the citizens."

Meanwhile, after taking office as chairman of the Gwangju Metropolitan Council, Kim successfully completed the reorganization and innovation of the council and has been recognized for leading the Gwangju Metropolitan Council to become the nation's most advanced council based on his extensive legislative experience.

In particular, he played a leading role in having the Gwangju-Daegu Dalbit Inland Railroad project, a long-standing wish of residents in both Yeongnam and Honam regions, finally reflected in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s 4th National Railroad Network Plan.
