Park Woo-ryang, Shinan County Governor, Cancels Inauguration Ceremony of the 8th Elected Term to Prioritize Public Welfare

Visiting Remote Islands' Livelihood Sites to Address Unprecedented Drought

[Sinan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Sinan County, Jeollanam-do, has canceled the inauguration ceremony of Park Woo-ryang, the head of Sinan County, which was scheduled for the 1st of next month, and will start the first official schedule of the 8th local government by visiting the birthplace of former President Kim Dae-jung and Daeya Island to focus on checking on the livelihood of the people.

Originally, the inauguration event was planned to be held simply, but due to the unprecedented drought continuing since last winter, the county official explained that rather than holding the inauguration ceremony during a time when the worries of the residents are deepening, they decided to cancel the ceremony and rush to the field to comfort the withering agricultural sentiment even a little.

Despite the difficult conditions due to COVID-19 during the 7th local government, Sinan County was able to have its islands recognized for their value through projects such as the renewable energy profit-sharing system, One Island One Museum, and One Island One Garden creation projects. Also, by prioritizing the creation of residents' income as the top goal, they were able to lay the foundation for resident income projects such as eco-friendly individual oyster farming and youth fishing boat rental projects.

As election pledges for the 8th local government, they proposed making the 1004 Islands a place where culture and arts bloom, focusing on fostering eco-friendly high-income strategic projects, developing Sinan as a world-class marine ecological tourism hub, ensuring equal welfare and a high-quality education center, and creating a convenient Sinan with customized transportation welfare.

County Head Park Woo-ryang said, “During the 8th local government, I will communicate directly with residents on-site to create a Sinan where residents live well, where culture and arts bloom, and where each island has a beautiful park,” and conveyed his determination to the residents, saying, “I plan to do my best to make the 1004 Islands Sinan a place where living on the islands is a source of pride and a place where people want to live.”
