This launch ceremony was prepared as an event to announce the beginning of an eco-friendly garden embracing the nature of Uiam Lake and Sangjungdo Island together with citizens. However, following a recent town hall meeting, on-site inspections by relevant organizations were newly conducted, leading the city to determine that more thorough review and discussion were necessary.

Accordingly, the schedule has been adjusted to more broadly reflect the opinions of citizens and experts, and to enhance safety in order to create a high-quality local garden.

Until now, the city has been concretizing its vision for the lake local garden through ongoing consultations with garden experts, advisory committee members, and citizens. The city intended for the launch ceremony to serve not just as a commemorative event, but as the starting point for "Chuncheon, the Garden City."

The city acknowledges some disappointment due to the schedule adjustment, but expects this to be an opportunity to prepare more thoroughly.

A Chuncheon City official stated, "We ask for citizens' understanding regarding any disappointment this may cause," and added, "We will do our utmost to ensure that the Chuncheon Lake Local Garden becomes a space for relaxation and healing, as well as a new symbol of the city."
