"Promises That Make My Life Special" is Kim Jin-tae's series of everyday, practical pledges aimed at addressing the real needs of Gangwon residents. Previously, he had pledged to support fuel costs for delivery riders and to provide childcare products at half price.



During his visit to the infant rest area, Kim Jin-tae checked the hygiene of the diaper-changing station and the nursing area. He stated, "It is important to create an environment where parents and children can feel comfortable even while outside," adding, "We will expand the installation of infant rest areas not only in public institutions such as administrative welfare centers in all 18 cities and counties of Gangwon Province, but also at major tourist attractions."


In particular, for outdoor tourist sites where securing space is difficult, he proposed a solution to supply "Smart Modular Baby Lounges," which are equipped with heating and cooling systems and water facilities, by benchmarking the "Smart Library" model.


Kim Jin-tae also unveiled a plan for "Theme-based Baby Lounges" that utilize the unique characteristics of Gangwon Province. On the East Coast, "Sea View Nursing Rooms" will be created to offer open views of the ocean, while in inland forest resorts, "Forest Diaper Rooms" filled with the scent of phytoncides will be established. The aim is to transform infant rest areas from mere diaper-changing spaces into "healing spaces" that showcase the charms of Gangwon.

Meeting with parents on-site, Kim Jin-tae stated, "Through the establishment of Gangwon-style Baby Lounges, I will deliver clear changes to make Gangwon a great place to raise children," and added, "I will continue to announce everyday policies that address the real needs of residents."



Meanwhile, after inspecting the infant rest area, Kim Jin-tae concluded his busy weekend by holding a discussion with the Chuncheon Youth Volunteer Network, where he discussed the challenges facing young people and ways to revitalize local volunteer activities.
