This visit was organized to strengthen communication with the local religious community and to gather a variety of opinions from the field. Mayor Jung explained this year’s administrative direction and major district issues, asking for cooperation to ensure smooth district management.

She then engaged in a dialogue with temple officials, exchanging various ideas for regional development and for improving residents’ quality of life.

Mayor Jungsooki stated, “Religion serves as a crucial pillar and a central force for stability and unity within the local community. Moving forward, I will continue to build a trust-based cooperation system through regular exchanges with major religious facilities in the district and realize open administration together with residents.”
