Amid the active progress of the Village Beautification (Image) project, one of the four major practice tasks of the civilian movement "Hopeful Mokpo Creation" during the 8th elected term, Mokpo City and the Civic Movement Practice Promotion Group carried out a large-scale garbage collection and weed removal operation around the Sports Complex in preparation for the completion ceremony of the Mokpo Sports Complex scheduled for the 6th.

The city will continue to conduct ongoing cleanliness activities targeting major arterial roads and tourist sites to do its best in welcoming large numbers of tourists. It will also strive to improve citizens’ awareness of participation through promotional activities such as campaigns, enabling citizens themselves to voluntarily engage in village beautification activities to create a clean city.

Mayor Park Hong-ryul said, “With the two major sports events as an opportunity, numerous athletes and tourists from across the country will visit Mokpo, laying the foundation for our city to leap forward as an international maritime city attracting 20 million tourists.” He added, “I expect that our small actions today will become a big step toward creating a hopeful Mokpo and a Mokpo that people want to visit again.”

Meanwhile, the Mokpo Sports Complex, where the opening and closing ceremonies and athletics events of the National Sports Festival will be held, has been completed with a total floor area of 26,468㎡, three above-ground floors, and 16,468 seats, and the completion ceremony is scheduled for the 6th.
