About 30 people attended the unveiling ceremony, including Lee Sang-geun, the county governor, Choi Eul-seok, chairman of the county council, Kim Jeong-ae, superintendent of education, Kim Seong-gyu, chief of Goseong Fire Station, Ha Ji-won, chief of Goseong Police Station, as well as county council members, ombudspersons, and members of the Youth Participation Committee.
Along with the unveiling ceremony, a campaign to raise awareness of children's rights was held by exhibiting 24 paintings on child abuse prevention in the county office lobby.
