Im Jeong-yeop, Prospective Candidate for Jeonju Mayor, Proposes "Dongmun Street and Others as Busking and B-boy Streets"

Pledge to Create Street Performance Spots to Revitalize Local Businesses

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Im Jeong-yeop, a prospective candidate for mayor of Jeonju, announced on the 19th, "We will transform the stagnant Dongmun Street and Deokjin Square area into a youthful street featuring busking and B-boy performances."

Im explained, "As part of the policy to revitalize the old downtown, if these two places become famous spots for street performances and attract young people, it will naturally greatly help activate the surrounding commercial districts as well as the Hanok Village, Daehak-ro, and Deokjin Park area commercial zones."

To actively encourage participation from busking and B-boy performance teams, a 'Street Performance Activation Support' budget will be allocated to directly cover necessary expenses.

He explained that the support method involves accepting applications from performance teams or individuals and providing direct expenses required for performance activities, such as performance fees and equipment rental fees, within the range of 50,000 to 500,000 KRW per performance.

Additionally, small stages and electrical facilities necessary for street performances will be expanded and installed, and Deokjin Square will be connected to Daehak-ro to prepare various measures that allow young people to naturally flow in.

Im stated, "To revitalize the old downtown and activate the local commercial districts, there must be programs where people can gather," adding, "We will make Dongmun Street and Deokjin Square youthful streets with street performances to breathe new life into the local economy."
