Gyeonggi Province Governor's Official Residence

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi Province Governor's official residence will be used as a place for communication with residents.

The Gyeonggi Province Governor Transition Committee announced on the 21st that the official residence located in Paldal-gu, Suwon, will be preserved as a modern cultural heritage site and used as a space for meetings with various residents.

The transition committee added that this conclusion was reached after Kim, the governor-elect, listened to opinions from residents of all walks of life regarding the use of the official residence.

The Gyeonggi Province Governor's official residence, located in Hwaseo-dong, Paldal-gu, Suwon, is a two-story detached house built in 1967.

A transition committee official expressed expectations, saying, "Governor-elect Kim Dong-yeon will meet with various residents such as youth, university students, farmers, and vulnerable groups within Gyeonggi Province in a format similar to the Brown Bag Meeting he regularly held with students during his tenure as president of Ajou University. The governor's official residence will become a place for gathering diverse opinions."

The Brown Bag Meeting refers to a small group gathering where participants freely converse while having lunch, typically sandwiches or salads packed in brown bags, which is the origin of the name.

In fact, from 2015 for about two years, Kim used the president's office at Ajou University as a communication space with students during his presidency.

Meanwhile, the transition committee explained that according to Kim's policy to use the official residence for public purposes, he plans to maintain the residence at his own expense without budget support from the province.
