This special lecture was organized to share the policy direction, values, and philosophy of the Yoon Suk-yeol government's balanced development policy regarding the local era, which is one of the six national goals, and to seek directions for city administration issues following the implementation of Opportunity Development Zones and Education Freedom Zones.

During the lecture, Chairman Woo Dong-gi introduced key policies of the National Balanced Development Committee, including strengthening local autonomy and financial capacity, promoting Opportunity Development Zones (ODZ), educational innovation, and revitalizing local universities, which are core tasks of the local era.

Mayor Cho Hyun-il of Gyeongsan said, "I express my great gratitude and welcome to Chairman Woo Dong-gi for visiting Gyeongsan. I feel that the Yoon Suk-yeol government has a very strong will to respond to the increasingly severe concentration in the metropolitan area compared to previous administrations and the growing sense of crisis over the extinction of non-metropolitan local areas. Through today's special lecture, our city will take proactive measures to realize local decentralization and balanced development as part of the national policy direction."

Chairman Woo Dong-gi previously served as President of Yeungnam University, Superintendent of Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education, President of Daegu Catholic University, and Vice Chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee for President Yoon Suk-yeol. He currently serves as Chairman of the National Balanced Development Committee under the President.
