Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon met with public officials in Suwon City and urged them to "initiate three enjoyable rebellions: a rebellion that overturns the given environment, a rebellion that breaks the mold of oneself, and a rebellion that overturns society to promote healthy development of our society."

On the 2nd, Governor Kim held a 'Provincial and City-County Joint Town Hall Meeting Livelihood Field Hand-in-Hand Talk' at the Suwon City Hall auditorium, delivering a special lecture on the philosophy and attitude of public officials under the theme of 'Enjoyable Rebellion' to about 350 Suwon city officials.

In his lecture, Governor Kim summarized the enjoyable rebellions into three types: ▲a rebellion against problems caused by others (overturning the environment), ▲a rebellion against problems caused by oneself (breaking one's own mold), and ▲a rebellion against problems caused by society (finding answers to problems society poses to us), and shared his life and public service experiences.

He particularly revealed this year's goals for Gyeonggi Province as 'livelihood, future, and innovation,' introducing Gyeonggi's policies for the public such as heating cost support, freezing transportation fares, and the emergency welfare call center. He also mentioned future initiatives including attracting 100 trillion won in investment during his term, RE100 (100% renewable energy use), nurturing core talents for the 4th industrial revolution, as well as innovation plans like organizational restructuring, the Red Team, and Gyeongbasi.

Governor Kim emphasized, "To break the winner-takes-all structure, many opportunities must be created. My provincial administration direction is to break down the dam of vested interests so that opportunities overflow like a river." He added, "I hope to spark enjoyable rebellions. I want us to be the first to do what others have not done, so that others follow. Innovation is needed not only in the content of work but also in the way we work."

He continued, "According to Mayor Lee Jae-jun's expression, Suwon City is the number one place for opportunity in Gyeonggi Province. Suwon must do well for Gyeonggi Province to do well. If Suwon changes, Gyeonggi changes, and if Gyeonggi changes, South Korea changes." He added, "I will also join forces with the mayor to work together on the tasks Suwon City must accomplish."

The Suwon city officials attending the lecture asked Governor Kim candid questions about matters they had been curious about.

The Livelihood Field Hand-in-Hand Talk is an event held monthly in one city or county, visiting the site to freely discuss local issues.

The topics and participants are selected according to local requests or characteristics, and communication is conducted in various formats.

This Hand-in-Hand Talk was held at the request of Suwon City. Previously, in September last year, Governor Kim held the first Hand-in-Hand Talk at Bamdongsan Park in Anyang City, announcing active measures to address aging in the old downtown and first-generation new towns. Subsequently, he communicated with 100 businesspeople in Hwaseong City in December, following visits to Yeoncheon County in October and Ansan City in November last year.
