Sang-gil Park, Gwangju Nam-gu Council Member, "Nam-gu Should Also Prepare a Cultural Foundation"

Park Sang-gil, a member of the Gwangju Nam-gu Council, proposed the establishment of a cultural foundation to strengthen the expertise in cultural heritage management and to develop the tourism industry linked with culture.

On the 9th, during the 294th 1st regular meeting, Councilor Park stated, “Nam-gu possesses 3 nationally designated cultural assets, 28 city-designated cultural assets, and 4 nationally registered cultural assets,” and emphasized, “Systematic management and efficient promotion are necessary for the development of cultural tourism in Nam-gu.”

He added, “Among local governments nationwide, 15 metropolitan and 79 basic local governments have established cultural foundations (corporations), with 23 of these founded since 2020.”

In particular, he pointed out, “Dong-gu, adjacent to our district, is currently promoting the establishment of the ‘Dong-gu Cultural Foundation’ aiming for a launch in July. This demonstrates that financial independence and population size are not limiting factors for establishing a cultural foundation.”

Finally, Councilor Park concluded his 5-minute free speech by saying, “Based on our successful experience introducing 3D stereoscopic content through the Baegun Plaza media wall, establishing a cultural foundation is also a timely mission that requires us to concentrate our administrative capabilities.”
