Gwangsan District Council of Gwangju to Live Stream Plenary Session to Fulfill Residents' Right to Know

The Gwangsan District Council of Gwangju Metropolitan City will broadcast live sessions of the plenary meetings to fulfill the residents' right to know and strengthen communication.

The Gwangsan District Council (Chairman Kim Taewan) announced on the 13th that starting from the 281st extraordinary session opening on the 17th, it will begin broadcasting 'live internet streaming of plenary meetings' through its website and official YouTube channel.

This 'internet live streaming' was promoted to transparently disclose council activities, thereby fulfilling the residents' right to know and enhancing communication.

Until now, to learn about the plenary meeting contents, residents had to either visit the council chamber in person to observe or check the videos and electronic minutes uploaded on the website.

It is expected that starting live streaming will also help restore trust in local councils and elevate their status.

Chairman Kim Taewan said, "By transparently and promptly disclosing the decision-making process through internet live streaming, I hope residents' interest and participation in council activities will become more active," adding, "We will continue to strengthen communication with residents to become a familiar and open council."

Meanwhile, the Gwangsan District Council plans to open the 281st extraordinary session from the 17th and review and process nine agenda items, including ordinances and general proposals.

During this session, the 1st plenary meeting on the 17th and the 2nd plenary meeting on the 21st can be watched live in real time by accessing the Gwangsan District Council website and official YouTube channel via PC and mobile devices.
