[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Moon In, the Democratic Party candidate for Mayor of Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced on the 18th, "Through policies that shift the paradigm of housing welfare and lay the foundation for youth advancement, I will create a fair and caring, robust inclusive welfare city."

Candidate Moon stated, "By utilizing idle public rental housing sites, we will resolve housing issues for low-income, homeless residents living in poor conditions and establish and provide 'social housing' where welfare, health, culture, and daily life can be enjoyed simultaneously."

He added, "We will create senior playgrounds and virtual sports spaces to encourage outdoor activities for the elderly and alleviate their mental and psychological stress through sharing small jobs."

Furthermore, he emphasized, "We will solidify efforts on smart integrated care, the Ochi urban regeneration recognition project, and green remodeling projects to actively respond to welfare demands in public rental housing."

As a policy to lay the foundation for youth advancement, he pledged, "We will create a youth culture street and establish various youth startup infrastructures through urban regeneration New Deal projects and industrial complex environment improvement projects around Gwangju Station, Chonnam National University, and Bonchon Industrial Complex."

He also stated, "We will strengthen a youth-tailored welfare safety net by expanding support for youth job-seeking activities and monthly rent and rental housing."

Finally, he said, "By faithfully carrying out related detailed pledges, I will guarantee fair rights for a better life for young people and surely create a sound and warm city where socially vulnerable groups feel happiness."
