With the expanded relocation, prospective return-to-farming and return-to-village individuals now have a comfortable environment to receive counseling and participate in various programs such as education for returnees.

At the opening ceremony commemorating the expansion and relocation of the Return-to-Farming and Return-to-Village Support Center, Wanju County Governor Yoo Hee-tae, County Council Chairman Seo Nam-yong, Provincial Superintendent of Education Seo Geo-seok, along with heads of local organizations and over 250 chairpersons and members of nationwide return-to-farming and return-to-village associations visited, creating a venue for communication and harmony.

As a side event, a flea market participated in by return-to-farming and return-to-village residents of Wanju-gun was held abundantly, providing great enjoyment.

Governor Yoo said, "I am pleased that the opening ceremony of the Return-to-Farming and Return-to-Village Support Center was warmly welcomed by local residents," adding, "We will continue to operate the center as a hub space for returnees and local residents to come together and promote return-to-farming and return-to-village policies."

Meanwhile, since 2015, when Statistics Korea first announced return-to-farming, fishing, and return-to-village statistics, the county has consistently ranked first in the province for eight years. According to the '2022 Return-to-Farming, Fishing, and Return-to-Village Statistics' announced last June, 3,709 return-to-farming and return-to-village households moved into Wanju-gun last year, with a population of 5,056, accounting for about 22.7% of the 16,321 households in Jeonbuk Province.
