Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) has designated the period from late June to July as the "One Year of the 8th Elected Term, a Sincere Smart Inclusive City" and will operate related activities during this time.

Marking the first year of the 8th elected term, Seongdong-gu has prepared this period to share the "Sincere Smart Inclusive City" initiative to successfully promote policies through the spread of values such as innovation, coexistence, communication, and safety.

During this period, various events and programs will be held under three themes: ▲Sharing Achievements ▲Communication and Empathy ▲Hopeful Leap.

First, for Sharing Achievements, the district will share the accomplishments of the past year and include plans for selecting key future tasks for Seongdong. Following last year’s heavy rain, Seongdong-gu became the first autonomous district in Seoul to conduct a full survey of semi-basement houses. Subsequently, it has promoted the Seongdong-type residential environment improvement project by installing flood prevention facilities such as flood barriers, backflow prevention valves, and operable security windows. A performance exhibition will be held in mid-July at the first floor of the district office’s Chaekmaru. Additionally, starting in July, a public opinion survey will be conducted targeting residents aged 18 and over to establish customized policies for residents.

For Communication and Empathy, various communication events aimed at enhancing resident participation and convenience have been prepared. On June 28, a reopening ceremony for the remodeled Eungbong-dong office will be held, and from July to August, resident assemblies will take place across all 17 neighborhoods to share and gather residents’ thoughts.

Under the Hopeful Leap theme, diverse events related to Seongdong-gu’s core brand projects are planned. On July 4, a project sharing meeting for the Smart Cultural City Seongdong will be held at Seongsu Art Hall, along with a completion ceremony for Cheonggyecheon Majang Children’s Dream Park, which features water play facilities and playground equipment for children. Following this, on July 8, the "Knock, Gather, Embrace - DumoPo Festival" will be held around the Hangang Park near Oksu Station.

For the future city of Seongdong, a mid-term report meeting on the "Seongdong-gu Four Major Centers Development Plan" that reflects the characteristics of each local space will be held in July. Furthermore, to strengthen the social safety net for socially vulnerable essential and mobile workers, an "Essential and Platform Workers’ Shelter" will be established in Seongsu-dong and will open on July 11.

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, stated, “All policies promoted by Seongdong contain ‘sincerity.’ Even if it takes a long time, it is important to include ‘sincerity,’ the power that moves people’s hearts, to move forward together.” He added, “We plan to continue operating the district government with sincerity to complete the Smart Inclusive City.”
