Ikwonjae, Osan Mayor, "Rechallenge for Semiconductor SoBuJang Specialized Complex"

Osan City in Gyeonggi Province, which failed to attract the semiconductor materials, parts, and equipment (SoBuJang) specialized complex recently confirmed by the government, has expressed its intention to make a re-challenge.

Lee Gwon-jae, Mayor of Osan (photo), revealed a letter on the 26th addressed to citizens stating, "We will make a re-challenge to attract the semiconductor SoBuJang specialized complex."

In the letter, Mayor Lee expressed regret, saying, "We aggressively competed with four other cities in Gyeonggi Province to attract the semiconductor SoBuJang specialized complex but ended up with a disappointing result."

However, he evaluated, "Through this competition, we presented a future blueprint for Osan as a semiconductor SoBuJang specialized city to leap forward as an economic city with a population of 500,000, rather than just a bedroom community."

Mayor Lee further explained that there have been continuous love calls from companies, including ▲attracting global equipment companies such as Lam Research Manufacturing and Idemitsu Kosan ▲planned attraction of one of the world's top semiconductor equipment companies ▲allocation of new volume in the 160,000㎡ Jigot Industrial Complex.

He also showed his determination to re-challenge the semiconductor SoBuJang creation competition. To this end, he announced plans to leverage geographical advantages by establishing ▲a future-oriented smart K-semiconductor belt hub ▲a core base for semiconductor SoBuJang win-win cooperation ▲a talent pool from academia for research and development.
