Honorary Mayor Jin-ho Jung was appointed in recognition of his contributions to the development of Dongducheon Agricultural Cooperative into a sound financial institution-serving as head for four consecutive terms from the 13th to the 16th, totaling over 20 years-and for achieving 1 trillion won in mutual financial assets, as well as for his efforts to improve the welfare of farmers and advance the local community.

On the morning of December 1st, after receiving his appointment certificate from Mayor Hyungdeok Park and officially beginning his duties, Honorary Mayor Jung attended the staff monthly meeting and the regular session of the Dongducheon City Council. He also visited key city departments, such as the Urban Regeneration Division and the Environmental Protection Division, received work briefings, and discussed directions for municipal development with staff members.

In the afternoon, he faithfully carried out his role as Honorary Mayor for the day by visiting major facilities, including the city’s representative tourist attraction, the Natural Recreation Forest, as well as the Eoullim Center, Orbit Library, Media Center, and Bandabi Sports Center, where he reviewed operational achievements and ongoing projects.

Meanwhile, Dongducheon City’s “Honorary Mayor for a Day” program appoints one individual each month-including citizens, former residents, and educators-to participate in the city’s administration for a day. This ongoing initiative contributes to realizing participatory and communicative governance in Dongducheon.
