More than 400 people attended the ceremony, including County Governor Lee Namcheol, Goryeong County Council Chairman Lee Cheolho, Na Wonsik, President of the Goryeong County Chapter of the Korean Senior Citizens Association, county council members, heads of related and social organizations, as well as executives and members of the Senior Citizens Association, to celebrate the occasion.

The Goryeong County Senior Welfare Center began its basic and detailed design in December 2023, broke ground in October 2024, and was completed in November 2025. The center has a total floor area of 905.07 square meters and is a two-story building. This new construction was undertaken because the existing Senior Citizens Hall had become severely outdated after more than 30 years, and it aims to meet the increasing demand for senior welfare in a super-aged society while providing a comfortable and safe environment.

The first floor of the building houses offices, meeting rooms, a fitness room, and a cafeteria, while the second floor features a multipurpose auditorium and program rooms. Notably, the fitness room is equipped with a screen park golf facility, allowing seniors to enjoy recreational activities indoors.

The ceremony included a demonstration of proper walking by the "Daegaya Flower Middle-aged Coordination" team, a health exercise performance by the "Welfare College Students" team, and a pre-ceremony performance by the Korean traditional music band "Harang." This was followed by a report on the progress of the Senior Citizens Hall construction, presentation of appreciation plaques, commemorative and congratulatory speeches, a completion ceremony, and a tour of the facility.

In his commemorative speech, County Governor Lee Namcheol stated, "I find the completion of the Senior Welfare Center for the enhancement of senior welfare to be very meaningful." He added, "I would like to express my gratitude and congratulations to President Na Wonsik and all executives and members, and we will continue to expand support for a happy retirement."

With the completion of this center, Goryeong County is now able to serve as a hub for senior welfare in the region by providing a safe and diverse environment for seniors to participate in various activities.
