Yeosu City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Jung Kimyung) conducted the "Yeosu Bay Renaissance Roadshow" over the past four months to build public consensus on the Yeosu Bay Renaissance Comprehensive Development Plan (hereafter Yeosu Bay Renaissance Project), a key initiative of the 8th popularly elected administration.

Starting with Samil-dong in October last year, the roadshow toured 27 towns and districts, concluding in Hwajeong-myeon on the morning of the 20th, with over 800 citizens in attendance.

The sessions included reports on the purpose of the Yeosu Bay Renaissance Project and the progress of five core projects for each bay, followed by a Q&A session.

Attending citizens expressed mostly positive reactions, saying, "I feel hopeful for Yeosu's next 100 years," "It strengthens my commitment to participate in regional development," and "I hope the plan proceeds as intended so that we can pass on a beautiful Yeosu to future generations."

Additionally, citizens requested "clear map markings for Suncheonman and Yeojaman," "preparation of a mutually beneficial development model in anticipation of the Yeosu-Namhae Undersea Tunnel opening," "uninterrupted project implementation," and "active promotion."

The city plans to revise and supplement the project based on citizen feedback from the sessions and will launch internal and external promotional campaigns to raise awareness of the Yeosu Bay Renaissance Project.

In addition to Yeosu, the project will be repeatedly promoted in major cities such as Seoul and Gwangju using buses, overpasses, and electronic billboards, and a citizen forum will be held in May to create a communication platform.

Mayor Jung Kimyung stated, "Continued citizen participation is essential for the development of Yeosu City and the success of the Yeosu Bay Renaissance Project," adding, "We will continue to strengthen communication-based administration to create the future Yeosu that our citizens envision."

Meanwhile, the "Yeosu Bay Renaissance Mid- to Long-term Comprehensive Development Plan" is a 100-year master plan for Yeosu's development, aiming to prevent unplanned development in certain areas and to achieve balanced development across all five bays, considering their unique characteristics. The project is being implemented with the goal of creating "Yeosu, a future marine city where islands and the sea coexist."
