Assemblyman Kim Seong-su was reappointed as a member of the 2nd Special Committee, following the 1st term, representing the Jeonbuk Self-Governing Province Council. He has actively engaged in legislative activities to overcome population decline and regional extinction, such as advocating for the introduction of a special account for balanced development in Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province and proposing ordinances to respond to population-declining areas in Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province.

Meanwhile, the Special Committee on Regional Extinction Response was established under the Korea Council of Local Governments in May last year to enable joint responses by local councils to issues of regional extinction caused by population decline. With the launch of the 2nd term, it is scheduled to operate until the end of June next year.

Assemblyman Kim Seong-su said, "I feel a great sense of responsibility for being reappointed as a member of the 2nd term following the 1st term," and added, "I will do my best to propose practical alternatives and improve related systems to resolve regional imbalances that have deepened nationwide along with population decline."
