Dong-gu District in Daejeon announced on the 27th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with national fencing athlete Oh Sangwook (affiliated with Brion Company) to establish an honorary road named "Oh Sangwook Street" in the Daehak-ro area near Daejeon University.

The signing ceremony was attended by Park Heejo, the head of the district office, Oh Sangwook, and representatives from his agency. They discussed various matters related to the creation of "Oh Sangwook Street," including the granting of the honorary road name, free use of the athlete's name, promotional marketing, and the installation of sculptures.

The district plans to finalize the honorary road name in May after completing related administrative procedures, such as gathering public opinions and review by the Address Information Committee.

An honorary road name is given by comprehensively considering a person's social contribution, public interest, and historical or cultural symbolism related to the area. Currently, Dong-gu District has three honorary road names: 3.16 Mansero, 3.8 Minjuro, and Woosongdaero.

The district decided to grant the honorary road name in recognition of Oh Sangwook's achievements, such as becoming the first Asian fencer to achieve a Grand Slam in individual events, enhancing Korea's reputation, serving as a promotional ambassador for Daejeon, and consistently donating to his alma mater, Daejeon University.

Park Heejo, head of Dong-gu District, stated, "Oh Sangwook is a fencing star who represents Korea and a proud figure born in Daejeon. We expect that establishing 'Oh Sangwook Street' will not only enhance the city brand value of Dong-gu but also contribute to revitalizing the region's cultural energy through sports."
