He added, "I wholeheartedly support the journey of young people in finding themselves."


Earlier, on the 14th, Governor Kim visited Chungnam National University in Daejeon and Kongju National University in Chungnam sequentially, holding meetings and special lectures on the themes of "Balanced National Development: Gyeonggi Province-Chungcheong Region Win-Win Plan" and "The Pleasant Future of Youth Created by Gyeonggi Province." On the 15th, he visited Hoseo University in Asan, Chungnam, to give a special lecture on the theme of "Balanced Development of the Republic of Korea."


At this event, Governor Kim called for a "pleasant rebellion" for fairness and justice in our society and emphasized breaking three taboos in Korea: ▲breaking the taboo of the catch-up economy ▲breaking the taboo of hereditary society ▲breaking the taboo of vested-interest politics.



The "pleasant rebellion" is the name of a nonprofit corporation established by Governor Kim Dong-yeon in December 2019 for talent development and social contribution activities, and it is a concept he advocated to break taboos related to vested interests in various fields.
