Kim Jeawook, Chilgok County Governor Candidate, "Promises Made Four Years Ago Are Becoming Reality"

Seokjeok Hi-Pass IC and Buksam-Ohpyeong Industrial Complex Now Taking Shape

Everyday Infrastructure Improvements Becoming Tangible

I will go beyond resolving long-standing issues to secure future growth engines.

Kim Jeawook, candidate for Chilgok County Governor from the People Power Party, has recently seen tangible progress on local issues that had long been at a standstill, including the Seokjeok Hi-Pass IC, Buksam-Ohpyeong General Industrial Complex, renovation of long-abandoned buildings, and improvements to everyday infrastructure in Waegwan-eup, all of which he promised to residents four years ago.

Recently, with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport granting final approval for the highway connection, the project has entered a full-fledged implementation phase. As a result, the transportation environment for residents of Seokjeok-eup, who had experienced detours and inconvenience during commuting hours, is expected to be greatly improved, and logistics efficiency is also anticipated to rise.

The 'Buksam-Ohpyeong General Industrial Complex,' which had seen no progress for decades, has also gained momentum after being finally selected as a target site for the public land reserve project by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and LH (Korea Land and Housing Corporation), and after completing administrative procedures such as the environmental impact assessment. Kim plans to use this as a foundation to actively attract companies and expand job opportunities.

In addition, the renovation process for Buksam JK Apartment, which had been left as an urban eyesore for over 20 years, is now gaining traction.

The JK Apartment, abandoned since construction was halted in 2003, has recently found a breakthrough as compulsory demolition procedures are now underway. After the demolition, the site is planned to be used for community facilities such as a public parking lot for residents' convenience.

Kim Jeawook emphasized, "The projects I promised to county residents four years ago are becoming a reality one by one," and added, "We will not stop at resolving long-standing issues, but will focus our administrative efforts on fostering future industries such as AgTech—integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and drones—to create new growth opportunities and future food sources for Chilgok."
