The event was held from 9:30 a.m. on the second floor of the annex at the Gaegun-myeon Welfare Center, with over 100 participants including Yangpyeong County Governor Jeon Jinseon, Gaegun-myeon Mayor Lim Byunghee, provincial and county council members, heads of local organizations and institutions, and Gaegun-myeon residents, creating a lively atmosphere.


The program consisted of two parts: the first part was an award ceremony, and the second part included explanations of county and town administration and listening to suggestions. The major achievements of Gaegun-myeon last year were introduced, such as △creating basic living hubs and revitalizing rural centers △landscaping the walking trails at Gaegun Leisure Sports Park △and the successful hosting of the Yangpyeong Sansuyu Korean Beef Festival, sharing these accomplishments with residents and building consensus.


Future plans for the development of Gaegun-myeon in 2026 were also presented, including △operating the Gaegun Public Bath (Hub Activation Center) △connecting the Hyangricheon Bridge with the Angdeok-Hajapo bicycle path △and creating an azalea colony on Chueupsan Mountain. The policy direction, focusing on establishing a bicycle special zone, developing tourism resources, and expanding resident-centered welfare facilities, was explained in terms residents could relate to, drawing significant interest.


During the final session for dialogue with residents, a variety of suggestions closely related to daily life were raised, such as △installing traffic lights and roundabouts △securing public parking lots and launching the Gaegun Circulation Bus △undergrounding power lines and installing parking spaces in the Gaegun-myeon downtown area △and proposing the construction of a new town office. Directors of relevant departments and division heads responded on-site with immediate reviews and outlined future plans, continuing in-depth communication.
