"Chungnam Province must set things right."

Jeonghyun Park, the Governor of Buyeo County in Chungnam, has criticized the province's promotional practices surrounding the groundbreaking ceremony for the Chungnam branch of the Korea Textile Development Institute.

He argued that Chungnam Province presented the vegan leather bio-material testbed project-an initiative directly led by Buyeo County-as if it were a province-driven effort. Governor Park stated, "Buyeo County did the work, but the province took the credit," and added, "The province has gone far beyond what is acceptable," directly attacking Chungnam Province's "credit-stealing publicity."

On October 20, Governor Park posted on his social networking service (SNS) under the title "Chungnam Province must set things right," referring to the groundbreaking ceremony held on October 17 in Guyam-myeon, Buyeo County. He pointed out, "It was made to look as if Chungnam Province had led and attracted the project."

He emphasized, "Both the stage banners at the event, the promotional videos, and the press releases were all branded as 'Strong Chungnam.' This project was initiated and led by Buyeo County. It is a project for which Buyeo County and the Korea Textile Development Institute directly signed an MOU; Chungnam Province is not the main party."

He further criticized, "Buyeo County did the work, but the province took the credit," and raised the level of criticism by saying, "The sweat and efforts of Buyeo County officials have been rendered meaningless."

Governor Park questioned, "The province must explain why the roles have been so completely reversed. I am also suspicious about what happened between Chungnam Province and the Korea Textile Development Institute, and whether there was any external pressure."

He asserted, "It is shameful for a metropolitan government to claim the achievements of a small local government as its own," and urged, "Chungnam Province must immediately correct the misrepresented facts."

Meanwhile, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Chungnam branch of the Korea Textile Development Institute was held in Guyam-myeon, Buyeo County, with the aim of establishing a hub for the eco-friendly new materials industry through the "Vegan Leather Bio-material Testbed Project."
