Governor Kim Dong-yeon to Host 'Matching Hands Talk' at Suwon Outdoor Concert Hall in October

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun Reporter] Gyeonggi Province will hold 'Matching Hands Talk with the Governor' on October 21 at 4 p.m. at Suwon First Outdoor Concert Hall to commemorate Gyeonggi Province Residents Day and promote communication.

Previously, the province planned to hold the 'Midsummer Night Matching Hands Talk with the Governor' in July to mark the second year of the eighth popularly elected administration, and some 20,000 residents had applied to participate. However, the event was postponed to enable the province to focus on responding to prolonged heavy rainfall.

This Matching Hands Talk will commemorate the sixth Gyeonggi Province Residents Day (October 18), reflect on moments shared with residents, and serve as a time for the governor to communicate with residents through awards for outstanding Gyeonggi residents and resident-participation performances.

Singers Park Jung-hyun, Davichi, and Dream with Ensemble will also perform, offering diverse cultural entertainment.

Residents interested in participating can apply by 5 p.m. on September 27 through the Gyeonggi Province website (www.gg.go.kr) or via a link provided on Gyeonggi Province's official social media accounts.

Additionally, when submitting applications, residents will be able to write 'What I Hope for the Governor,' and the governor will personally receive residents' opinions. The province plans to actively review the possibility of reflecting these opinions in policy.

Yi Won-il, director of public relations and planning for Gyeonggi Province, said, "We have made the Matching Hands Talk, which was regrettably postponed in July, more robust in commemoration of Residents Day," adding that "this event reflects Governor Kim Dong-yeon's commitment to harmonizing with residents and actively listening to anyone regarding the future direction of provincial affairs."
