Assemblyman Geumju Moon Jointly Proposes "Special Act on the Aerospace Complex City"

41 Lawmakers Join Across Party Lines
Pushing for a Southern Hub in the Aerospace Industry

Geumju Moon, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea representing Goheung, Boseong, Jangheung, and Gangjin in South Jeolla Province, jointly sponsored the “Special Act on the Construction and Support of the Aerospace Complex City” with Assemblyman Seo Chunho on December 2.

This bill, supported by 41 lawmakers from both the ruling and opposition parties, aims to integrate the scattered aerospace infrastructure in southern regions-such as the Naro Space Center in South Jeolla and the Aerospace Administration in Sacheon, South Gyeongsang-by establishing the “K-Aerospace Complex City,” which will combine research, industry, residential, and educational functions.

The bill provides the legal basis for systematic urban development by establishing a Deliberation Committee and a Promotion Team for the Aerospace Complex City within the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and by creating a special account to fund the project.

It also includes special provisions for the creation of an aerospace campus, strengthening industry-academia-research collaboration, supporting the attraction of companies and talent, and improving residential conditions, so that both the industrial ecosystem and living infrastructure can be developed simultaneously.

Assemblyman Geumju Moon stated, “Competitiveness in advanced industries depends on concentration and intensive investment,” and added, “A strategy to advance the aerospace mobility industry centered on South Jeolla and South Gyeongsang is necessary.” He further emphasized, “Through prompt legislation, we will make South Jeolla the core city responsible for the competitiveness of Korea’s aerospace industry.”

Locally, there are growing practical expectations for job creation and improved living conditions.
