Jeonju City Extends 'Honorary Road Name' Usage Period Until 2030

Geoul-eopsneun Cheonsaui Geori and Inswae Munhwa Geori: "Representing Local Cultural Characteristics and Fostering Community Pride"

Jeonju City in Jeollabuk-do announced on the 9th that the usage period for the honorary road names "Eolgul-eopsneun Cheonsaui Geori" (Street of the Faceless Angels) and "Insae Munhwa Geori" (Printing Culture Street) will be extended for 5 years until January 5, 2030.

Honorary road names are not legally recognized road names used in practice, but are 'nicknames' given to represent local culture and characteristics and to boost residents' pride.

Currently, Jeonju uses three honorary road names: Eolgul-eopsneun Cheonsaui Geori, Insae Munhwa Geori, and Gukmin Yeongeum-ro (National Pension Road). The usage periods for Eolgul-eopsneun Cheonsaui Geori and Insae Munhwa Geori, which were set to expire on January 5 next year, have now been extended.

"Eolgul-eopsneun Cheonsaui Geori" was designated to honor and spread the spirit of the "faceless angels" who anonymously practice neighborly love in Nosong-dong, covering a section of Inbong-ro.

Also, "Insae Munhwa Geori," which corresponds to parts of Hyeonmu 2-gil and 3-gil in Gyeongwon-dong, was designated as a printing-specialized street to revitalize the local economy and boost the pride of industry workers by naming the printing industry cluster area with an honorary road name on January 6, 2010.

As the usage periods for these honorary road names approached expiration, the city decided to extend their usage periods after review by the Jeonju Address Information Committee as stipulated by law.

A city official stated, "We hope that with this extension of the honorary road names' usage periods, the spirit of donation and good deeds will continue to spread, and the pride of workers in the respective industries will be sustained."
