Mayor Shin Sangjin Tours 50 Neighborhoods for Direct Communication
On-Site Actions and Budget Allocations Lead to Tangible Results
Shin Sang-jin, the Mayor of Seongnam, successfully concluded his field-focused communication initiative by gathering a total of 143 resident opinions through the "2025 Communication Live with Citizens" event.
From September 5 to October 14, Mayor Shin personally visited 50 neighborhoods over 12 sessions, meeting with approximately 2,100 residents to provide explanations about municipal administration and conduct Q&A sessions.
This Communication Live event was organized in the order of municipal issue briefings, a talk concert, and neighborhood-specific Q&A sessions. It served as an opportunity to share the progress and future plans of key projects under the 8th popularly elected administration, including attracting Posco Holdings to Wirye, the complex development of Seongnam Sports Complex, the creation of Seongnam Mulbit Garden, and the Baekhyeon MICE city development.
The talk concert, in particular, received a strong response as it allowed any resident to freely ask questions and receive direct answers from the mayor, fostering two-way communication. Citizens raised not only local issues such as redevelopment of residential areas, reconstruction, and railway projects, but also practical suggestions on everyday matters, including Hwangto Trail maintenance, road damage, and the installation of street trash bins and benches.
In response, Mayor Shin pledged, "Matters that can be resolved immediately will be addressed swiftly, and for long-term issues, I will share the progress with citizens and follow through to the end."

The city plans to actively review the resident feedback received during this communication process, promptly addressing issues that can be resolved on-site, and reflecting matters requiring mid- to long-term review in next year's budget after departmental consultations. In fact, some suggestions have already resulted in on-site improvements and budget allocations, demonstrating tangible outcomes.
Going forward, Seongnam City will continue to make citizens' voices the starting point for policy decisions, realize "participatory administration with citizens at the center of municipal governance," and strive to build a trustworthy and empathetic administration.
