Held in the audiovisual room of Gwangju Central Library, the event was attended by about 130 residents from the old downtown areas, including Gyeongan-dong and Ssangnyeong-dong, who engaged in vibrant discussions.

Mayor Bang stated, "Beyond simply listening to civil complaints, I focused on transparently explaining the complex processes of city administration that citizens are curious about."

In particular, Mayor Bang highlighted the city’s efforts to achieve results despite regulations and restrictions by personally introducing the case of the Cheongseok Park Park Golf Course project, which had faced difficulties due to water source regulations but was realized after persistent negotiations.

He also candidly addressed the practical challenges of long-term procedures required for urban development and transportation infrastructure expansion projects, expressing his determination by saying, "Nevertheless, the city will take responsibility and resolve each issue step by step."

The most notable topics at this talk concert were the expansion of accommodation and tourism infrastructure in preparation for the Gyeonggi-do General Sports Festival, the Ssangnyeong District urban development project, and the expansion of Cheongseok Park Park Golf Course-issues closely tied to daily life.

Mayor Bang emphasized, "I will pursue balanced development by simultaneously redeveloping the old downtown and expanding transportation infrastructure," adding, "Suggestions from residents will be reviewed by each department to prepare feasible alternatives, and long-term projects will be addressed step by step."

One resident who attended the talk concert responded positively, saying, "I trusted the mayor because he did not avoid the issues and explained them honestly."

Gwangju City plans to publish the opinions collected from citizens during this event on the city website and will provide separate responses for matters requiring individual review. Mayor Bang will continue to expand communication with citizens by holding a talk concert in the Opo area this November.
