Among the Gwanghwamun Forum members, three individuals, including Baek Bong-hee, CEO of Space ENG Co., Ltd., and Park Jin-young, CEO of Cosmelab Co., Ltd., were listed as major donors with donations of 5 million won.

Jeon Chung-ryeol, Chairman of the Gwanghwamun Forum, said, “I am very pleased that there is a good system that allows members who cherish their hometown Gyeongju to express their love for it,” adding, “Following the recent attraction of the SMR national industrial complex, we will also unite the power of hometown people to externally promote the justification for hosting the 2025 APEC Gyeongju summit.”

Joo Nak-young, Mayor of Gyeongju, stated, “The hometown love donation system is a public donation that supplements poor local finances, revitalizes the regional economy, and contributes to regional and national balanced development,” and asked for “continued support and interest in Gyeongju.”

The Gwanghwamun Forum is a gathering of prominent figures from various fields, including journalists and public officials from Gyeongju residing around the Gwanghwamun area. Currently, Jeon Chung-ryeol, Senior Advisor at the law firm Daeryuk Aju, serves as chairman, and Han Dong-wook, Deputy General Manager at Maeil Business Newspaper, serves as secretary general.
