Mayor Lee Sang-il Attends Yongdeok 1-dong Residents' Day Event in Yongin

Mayor Lee Sang-il of Yongin Special Status City attended the Yongdeok 1-dong Residents' Day held at Youth Plaza in Yongdeok-dong on the 1st, offering congratulations to residents and engaging in communication.

Mayor Lee stated, "I congratulate the holding of this event as summer heat passes and this fine day arrives, promoting the development of Yongdeok 1-dong and strengthening unity among residents, and I extend my gratitude to all those who participated."

He continued, "With the opening of the Giheung National Sports Center and Heungdeok Youth Culture House last year in Yongdeok 1-dong, facilities for citizens have been established, and I hope you will make good use of them. Having heard concerns from students about the difficulty of conducting survival swimming at the Giheung National Sports Center, I immediately raised the matter with Yongin Urban Corporation to implement improvements."

The mayor said, "We have successfully protected Yongin's semiconductor industrial complex, and with the mega-scale semiconductor project proceeding well, when semiconductor-related tax revenue increases, we will be able to allocate necessary budgets without issuing municipal bonds and open the subway as scheduled in 2029. I will work hard to ensure the project proceeds smoothly so the subway opens on target."

The event opened with morning walking races and pre-ceremony performances including nanta, attracting some 300 residents of Yongdeok 1-dong.

At the opening ceremony that followed, 11 individuals, including Kim Min-seop, head of Yongdeok 30 district, received commendations for their contributions to the development of Yongdeok 1-dong. Various booths and games were operated, and multiple performances ensued as residents enjoyed a pleasant time.
