This is the first time Resident Autonomy Officers have been certified in Chuncheon.

This course was conducted over 15 weeks starting in September, combining lectures on resident autonomy at Kangwon National University and special sessions by the association. The program focused on strengthening practical capabilities by covering Korea's resident autonomy system, international case studies from countries such as the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Japan, and by conducting research and presentations on best practices.

The graduation ceremony was held on the 8th in the main conference room of City Hall. Approximately 100 people attended, including Mayor Yuk Donghan, Jeon Sangjik, President of the Korean Association for Resident Autonomy, Eom Sangpil, President of the Chuncheon City Resident Autonomy Council, and Hong Hyeongdeuk, Professor at Kangwon National University. The event also featured a special lecture by President Jeon Sangjik.

Son Daesik, Director of the Autonomy Administration Division, stated, "Resident autonomy is the core of grassroots democracy," adding, "We expect that the newly certified Resident Autonomy Officers will play a pivotal role in identifying and solving local issues together."
