"G Station Exploration" is a talent development program under the 'G (Gangwon)' domain of the G-STAY support system, part of Hallym University's Glocal University 30 project and the Regional Settlement Support Center. The program is operated with the goal of promoting the Gangwon area.

This program focused on two local issues presented by Cheorwon County: proposing tourism ideas for the Cheorwon History and Culture Park, and strategies to revitalize the Hantangang Columnar Joint Road. Twenty Hallym University students participated, divided into four teams, and proposed solutions for each issue. The students' reports will be shared with the county office and local organizations for potential use in future policy and tourism operations. In particular, Cheorwon County actively supported the education program by offering paid tourism facility services free of charge in partnership with the university, further facilitating problem-solving education for local issues.

During the field exploration, local experts from Cheorwon participated as mentors. Nam Sangho, prospective PD of Tourism Dure, Kim Jaeun, CEO of the local brand "Deureuni Guksu·Basalt38.1," and Lim Byungsoon, director of the Cheorwon Cultural Center, gave lectures and mentoring sessions on Cheorwon's tourism, industry, history, and security.

The participating students visited major tourist attractions such as the Soisan Monorail and Observatory, Cheorwon History and Culture Park, Nodong Party Headquarters Media Art, and Hantangang Columnar Joint Road, directly experiencing the region's charm and potential. One student commented, "By experiencing Cheorwon's nature, history, and people's stories firsthand, I began to reflect on what role I could play as a university student in the region's development."

Sung Siil, head of the Regional Settlement Support Center, stated, "The local community gave great support to this program, which was carried out to foster mutual growth between the university and the region," and added, "We will continue to cooperate so that Cheorwon's abundant tourism resources can help revitalize the area."

The G Station Exploration program is operated each semester, with plans to establish a settlement support system connecting universities, local communities, and businesses to promote the revitalization of the Gangwon region.
