Lee Byeong-no, the mayor of Damyang County responsible for the county administration, is attracting attention with his consecutive aggressive actions.

Lee Byeong-no, mayor of Damyang County in Jeollanam-do, is drawing attention with his aggressive efforts for regional development.

On the 14th, according to Damyang County, Mayor Lee participated in the ‘Urban-Rural Win-Win Damyang Agricultural Specialties Special Sale’ held at Jogyesa Temple in Seoul to expand sales channels for agricultural specialties and activate direct transactions with consumers.

The special sale was proposed by Mayor Lee, inspired by the large number of visitors to the temple on the first day of the lunar month, and was realized with the response of the Jogye Order General Headquarters (Chief Monk Jinwoo). It has been held quarterly since last year.

This event was the second one following the event in January. At the site, Mayor Lee encouraged the officials and directly conducted tastings for Seoul citizens, introducing specialties such as Hangwa (traditional Korean sweets).

In a subsequent meeting with Jinwoo, the Chief Monk of the Jogye Order General Headquarters, Mayor Lee discussed the design and layout stages of the International Meditation Center being planned for construction in Damyang, requesting cooperation with the Jogye Order and support at the sect level.

Prior to the event, Mayor Lee went up to Seoul the day before and met with the heads of the Damyang, Jangseong, Hampyeong, and Yeonggwang hometown associations in the Seoul metropolitan area, asking for their interest and cooperation in the hometown love donation fund.

Also, on the 12th, he visited the Edufarm Special Zone in Jeungpyeong County, Chungbuk, the largest tourist complex in the central region, where he listened to the progress of projects and toured facilities through meetings with Jeungpyeong County Office and company officials, and exchanged opinions on collaboration with Damyang County.

Mayor Lee said, “What must be done for the development of Damyang County is to become a field-oriented mayor who runs directly on foot,” adding, “I will work directly across all areas including tourism, agriculture, investment attraction, and export to achieve results.”
