Jung Chulwon, Governor of Damyang County in South Jeolla Province, has officially launched a new approach to communication with residents by shifting from the previous format of "Dialogue with Residents" conducted at the 12 town and township levels, to "on-site, village-visiting dialogues" that directly reach out to local communities.

This initiative is being carried out under the governor's strong commitment to "on-site administration that reaches out first," where the governor approaches residents proactively, rather than waiting for residents to come to the administration. Starting in Damyang-eup on June 9, the dialogues are being held to listen to the vivid voices from across the region and to deeply empathize with the lives of each and every resident.

On the first day of the "Dialogue with Residents Visiting the Village" on June 9, Governor Jung visited the senior citizens' centers in Gaeksari, Damjuri, and Cheonbyeonri in succession, explained the county's policy directions, and, together with attending public officials, listened to suggestions and conducted a Q&A session.

On this day, residents raised various proposals for development, asked questions about county administration, and shared inconveniences they experience in daily life. Governor Jung stated, "We will find truly necessary solutions and turn them into tangible changes," and instructed the on-site officials to make thorough preparations for related actions.

The visits to all 55 villages in Damyang-eup will continue until June 17. The county plans to visit and communicate with all 325 villages in the 12 towns and townships within the county sequentially by August.

Governor Jung emphasized, "The focus of county administration must always be the residents," and added, "I will do my utmost to meet each and every one of you sincerely and to ensure that these efforts lead to changes that residents can truly feel."

He further stated, "Through these dialogues, we will work together to resolve everyday inconveniences and, together with the residents, responsibly build a 'Vibrant Future, Greater Damyang.'"
