On this day, at the Bill Review Subcommittee of the National Assembly's Administration and Security Committee, the Special Act on Administrative Integration was introduced and is under review, and discussions on the bill are scheduled to continue until the 11th.


At the scene, National Assembly member Yoo Sangbum (representing Hongcheon, Hoengseong, Yeongwol, and Pyeongchang) also held a placard reading, "A choice that will change the lives of Gangwon residents. Immediately pass the 3rd amendment to the Gangwon Special Act," and asked the members of the Administration and Security Committee for the swift passage of the third amendment to the Gangwon Special Act.


Governor Kim expressed strong regret, saying, "While the five-pole initiative, which is an attempt at administrative integration, has rapidly come under deliberation at the National Assembly, not a single round of bill review has been held for 17 months on the third amendment to the Gangwon Special Act, even though consultations with government ministries have been completed."



He went on to stress, "The so-called three special autonomous regions of Gangwon, North Jeolla, and Jeju, as well as Sejong, and the special act on the administrative capital, must also be handled swiftly from the perspective of balanced national development."
