Goseong County in Gangwon Province (Governor Ham Myeongjun) will present the 29th Goseong County Citizen Award at the opening ceremony of the 43rd Goseong County Citizen's Day and Suseong Cultural Festival, which will be held at Goseong Sports Complex at 10:30 a.m. on September 23.

The Goseong County Citizen Award is the county's most prestigious honor, presented annually to individuals who have made significant contributions to community development and the unity of county residents in four categories: culture and the arts, social service and filial piety, sports promotion, and regional development.

At the review committee meeting held on September 5 in the county office conference room (with 13 committee members), five candidates across the four categories were evaluated, and Daehun Kang, Head of Hakya 1-ri, Toseong-myeon, was ultimately selected as the recipient in the regional development category.

Kang was recognized for his outstanding contributions to the development of the region and county administration, including revitalizing the sports industry, promoting new rural community initiatives, fostering local community spirit through various events and festivals, and supporting disaster and accident prevention as well as swift recovery efforts.

A Goseong County official stated, "The Goseong County Citizen Award is an honorable recognition that all residents take pride in," adding, "We will continue to actively identify and honor those who dedicate themselves to the advancement of county administration and the unity of our community."

Since the first award in 1994, a total of 69 individuals have been honored with the Goseong County Citizen Award as of last year, including 20 in culture and the arts, 21 in social service and filial piety, 17 in sports promotion, and 11 in regional development.
