Gochang County Fully Launches Youth Policy Monitoring Team “Cheongporters”

Gochang County is launching the full-scale operation of the “2026 Gochang County Youth Policy Monitoring Team (hereinafter referred to as the Cheongporters)” to deliver county government news from the perspective of young people and to examine the effectiveness of its policies.

The Cheongporters is an elite support group composed of young people (aged 18 to 45) residing in Gochang County. They will go beyond simply promoting various youth policies pursued by the administration, directly experience the field, and freely propose their impressions and improvement measures from the “viewpoint of young people themselves.”

This year’s Cheongporters consist of people from a wide range of occupations, including cafe managers, educators, self-employed business owners, and homemakers, thereby conveying the voices of young people from all walks of life.

Until December this year, they will visit sites each month according to designated themes such as support for youth public rental housing, support for youth startups, and youth culture and festivals, and will share vivid “policy experience stories” with county residents through social media channels such as blogs and Instagram.

In particular, this year the focus will shift away from content centered on simple information delivery toward producing trendy content that can attract the interest of young people, such as “policy unboxing,” “interviews with responsible public officials,” and “real reviews from beneficiaries.”

Gochang County will provide a certain amount of activity allowance based on performance, and the creative ideas and improvement suggestions proposed by the monitoring team will be actively reflected in the establishment of youth policies for 2027 after review by the relevant departments.

An official from the Gochang County New Vitality Economy Policy Office said, “No matter how good a policy is, it is useless if young people do not know about it or if it is detached from reality,” adding, “We hope that the Cheongporters will serve as a strong bridge that closes the gap between the administration and young people.”
