Promises to Keep the "Mayor-Citizen Communication Platform" Operational at All Times

Sunghyun Park, an independent preliminary candidate for Mayor of Gwangyang in the upcoming June 3 local elections, announced the results of a "citizen-participatory policy campaign" where citizens directly proposed policies and created campaign pledges. He stated that a total of 121 policy ideas were submitted with enthusiastic support from the public.

Candidate Park collected public opinions both online and offline under the slogan, "Your Thoughts Shape Gwangyang’s Future," for eight days starting from April 29. Analysis showed that more than half of respondents, 57%, identified "economy and industry (revitalization of Gwangyang Port, job creation)" as the most urgent issue to address.

This was followed by the fields of public safety (24%) and culture and tourism (13%), confirming citizens' strong demand for real economic recovery and safer living conditions in the region.

Based on the 121 ideas proposed by citizens, Park finalized four key pledges: ▲ Protection of housing rights in private rental apartments: Strengthening administrative intervention at the city level to resolve housing insecurity in private apartments such as Suhaim, and promoting residential stability policies to prevent arbitrary actions by rental operators; ▲ Transportation innovation and modernization: Attracting KTX Gwangyang Station and modernizing the aging Jungma-dong bus terminal to reorganize the gateway to Gwangyang and maximize transportation convenience; ▲ Creation of a differentiated tourism belt: Developing a healing tourism route connecting Gubongsan Mountain and Sagok Gold Mine Cave to secure unique tourism resources for Gwangyang; ▲ Future-oriented education and care infrastructure: Establishing a "24-hour care system" for dual-income families and expanding global future education environments such as AI coding.

Preliminary candidate Park stated, "Moving away from the conventional top-down delivery of pledges, the 121 policies handwritten by 126 citizens will become a new milestone in the Gwangyang mayoral election," and expressed his firm determination by adding, "I will implement every single citizen proposal containing their sincere voices without omission."

Park also pledged, "Even after the election, I will keep the 'mayor-citizen communication platform' proposed by citizens operational at all times, creating an 'Open Gwangyang' where citizens and the mayor can engage in direct dialogue whenever needed."

Meanwhile, the details of the 121 citizen proposals received will be released to the public through Sunghyun Park’s official social media channels and election campaign materials.
