Governor Kim Moon-soo was expelled twice and imprisoned for pro-democracy activities, eventually receiving a bachelor's degree in business administration from Seoul National University 25 years later. He subsequently served as a member of the National Assembly for the 15th, 16th, and 17th terms, and held positions including First Vice Secretary-General of the Democratic Party and chair of the candidate screening committee before serving as Gyeonggi Province Governor from July 2006 to the present.

Governor Kim Moon-soo, who leads Gyeonggi Province under the slogan "To lower places, with greater passion," will deliver a lecture at this Suwon Forum on the topic of "Who will build what kind of Korea?"

Governor Kim plans to examine the achievements Korea has accomplished to date and future challenges ahead, while explaining policy cases from Gyeonggi Province and the direction South Korea should pursue in the global community.

He will also emphasize the importance of the mindset that public officials should maintain.

A city official said, "We hope this will be a time for public officials to reflect on the past as we work to create a happy and livable city," and added, "We hope it will be a good opportunity to learn how to approach and lead local governance with the right mindset."
