Cheonho 1-dong Community Broadcasting Station

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] An empty space at Cheonho 1-dong Community Center in Gangdong-gu (Mayor Jeonghun Lee) has been reborn as a wonderful space for residents through remodeling.

The district announced that after the Sipjaseong Senior Citizens' Center, located on the basement first floor of Cheonho 1-dong Community Center (59 Gucheonmyeon-ro 42-gil, Gangdong-gu), relocated last November, the existing space of about 34 pyeong was remodeled with a budget of 200 million KRW to create a resident-led village broadcasting station and a shared program room for residents.

From the initial design stage to the completion, residents' opinions were evenly reflected throughout the entire process, making it more meaningful as a space exclusively for residents that can be shared by various age groups.

Jeonghun Lee, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, “I hope the Cheonho 1-dong Village Broadcasting Station becomes a model case that can expand throughout Gangdong-gu with innovative content that anyone can participate in,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to further activate the resident community.”

Going forward, the Cheonho 1-dong Village Broadcasting Station will be operated directly by residents, serving as a communication channel conveying the joys and sorrows of the community. It is expected to lead resident-led projects to revitalize the village community by running various programs such as video content production, online lectures, and renting broadcasting equipment.
