Under this agreement, the three regions will jointly promote the metropolitan cultural city project and share the project budget. They also plan to hold regular metropolitan council meetings to strengthen exchange and cooperation between regions and to develop a leading vision for local cultural policy together.

Lee Taehun, Secretary General of the Sokcho Culture and Tourism Foundation, stated, "This agreement marks a new starting point for expanding the achievements of Sokcho, which was designated as a top-tier cultural city in the 2025 Korea Cultural City Performance Evaluation, and for revitalizing the Sok-Goh-Yang (Sokcho, Goseong, Yangyang) metropolitan cultural district project, which is already attracting national attention. Going forward, we will do our best to ensure that the Sokgoyang Metropolitan Cultural Project becomes a leading example of regional cultural revitalization and joint development through collaboration among small cities."

Going forward, Sokcho City plans to work with Goseong County and Yangyang County to promote the Korea Cultural City Development Project through 2027, with the vision of becoming a 'city of taste woven with style' and establishing Sokcho as a culinary culture city.
