Im Seong-hwa, a member of the Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Council, drew attention as the 'Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Youth Day Ordinance' he proposed at the 319th extraordinary session was enacted for the first time in Gwangju Metropolitan City.

Councilor Im explained the background of the ordinance, saying, "I hope it will help young people cope with the difficulties and challenges they face in a rapidly changing society and grow as members of society, even if only a little."

This ordinance, the first to be enacted in Gwangju, specifies matters such as designating the last Saturday of May as Youth Day, designating Youth Week, promoting Youth Day, and reducing admission fees for youth activity facilities. It includes provisions allowing full or partial reductions of admission and usage fees for public youth facilities during the last week of May, providing practical benefits to young people.

Furthermore, Councilor Im stated, "Through this ordinance, I hope that youth will be guaranteed proper treatment and rights as members of society in areas such as youth human rights promotion, self-development, and youth culture, arts, and sports." He added, "I plan to propose this to Gwangju City and its four districts so that young people can realize their dreams, and I will strive to create the future of Seo-gu, Gwangju together."
