At the beginning of 2024, Mayor Oh took the opportunity of New Year's greetings events in Seoul's autonomous districts such as Gangdong-gu to explain the direction of Seoul city administration for 2024.

Before the 30-minute city administration briefing, Mayor Oh praised, "After hearing the New Year's address by Kim Kyung-ho, head of Gwangjin District Office, who achieved over 40 awards last year and 'First-class Integrity,' I must say he is 'Kim Kyung-ho, the head of Gwangjin District Office, who did better work than me.'"


At the "2024 Geumcheon-gu New Year's greeting event" held on the 17th, he also shared the direction of city administration for this year.

Mayor Oh's citizen engagement efforts do not stop here.


On the 24th at 10:30 a.m., Mayor Oh will attend the "2024 Jung-gu Budget Briefing Meeting in Partnership with Seoul City" held at Shinsegae Namsan Trinity Hall in Jangchung-dong.


On this day, Mayor Oh will brief on the 2024 Seoul city budget and city administration direction. Kim Gil-sung, head of Jung District Office, will introduce projects jointly promoted by Seoul City and Jung-gu.


Jung-gu is pushing forward major projects that will reshape the urban landscape together with Seoul City. Representative projects include ▲Operation of Myeongdong Outdoor Advertising Free Display Zone ▲Construction of K-POP Complex Cultural Facility in Hunryeonwon Park ▲Promotion of Urban Core Innovation Projects with Residents ▲Revitalization of Global Tourism Market and Shin Jungang Market Commercial Area ▲Construction of Gwanghui-dong Dongdaemun Transfer Public Parking Lot to alleviate urban parking shortages.


If the projects in Jung-gu, which plays a key role in the heart of Seoul, proceed smoothly, the benefits can extend to the entire city. Furthermore, with bold deregulation and public support, the urban residential environment will be dramatically improved, leading to population inflow, urban revitalization, and serving as a driving force for Seoul's growth as an international city.
