“Young People Enjoy the City, Gwangju: A City of Opportunities”

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kang Gijeong, the Democratic Party candidate for mayor of Gwangju Metropolitan City, opened his ears wide to the voices of young people.

On the 25th at 12:30 PM, Candidate Kang held a "Listening Campaign" at the back gate of Chosun University, creating an opportunity to communicate with young people.

He performed a small act wearing a rabbit hat and perking up his ears to signify "I will listen well." He also conducted a youth policy agreement.

The youth proposed through on-site free speeches ▲guaranteeing opportunities for marriage, childbirth, and childcare ▲job policies for sports and arts-related fields ▲guaranteeing opportunities for youth political participation ▲strengthening the competitiveness of local universities ▲motorcycle noise damage ▲expansion of sports facilities such as soccer fields.

A young person studying in the Department of Physical Education at Chosun University said, "Please find ways for young people to live happily without leaving Gwangju," adding, "If Candidate Kang Gijeong pursues youth policies in the wrong direction, we will not hesitate to criticize. We hope you continue to create communication opportunities like this so that young people can be the center of politics and society, not just bystanders."

Candidate Kang said, "I feel sorry as a politician when I see young people. We are preparing policies for young people who live with various problems such as employment, housing, and leisure," adding, "I will be a solid stepping stone so that young people can step on me and rise. I will realize the wishes of young people to create a Gwangju that everyone enjoys and full of opportunities."

Along with this, he promised young people ▲the establishment of a 500 billion won startup innovation fund ▲the creation of community housing that allows various lifestyles ▲leisure sports facilities and extreme experience centers ▲exploring measures according to the plan to transfer educational authority from the Yoon Seok-yeol government to local governments.
