Kim Gwannyoung, the independent candidate for Governor of Jeonbuk Special Autonomous Province, held a press conference at the Jeonbuk Provincial Council on the 26th and announced the 'Jeonbuk Success 5 Major Projects' as the core vision for the 9th elected term.

Kim Kwan-young, candidate for Governor of Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province, announced the "Jeonbuk Success 5 Major Projects" as the core vision of the 9th elected government on the 26th, stating, "We will connect the national policy direction of the Lee Jae-myung administration to the achievements in Jeonbuk's industry, jobs, and residents' lives."

At the event, Candidate Kim expressed his ambition to connect the nation’s major strategic directions with tangible improvements in Jeonbuk’s industries, jobs, and the actual lives of its residents.

He emphasized that Jeonbuk’s development is not just a slogan, but comes from "execution power" that persuades the government and mobilizes businesses. He pledged not to halt Jeonbuk’s growth, based on the achievements demonstrated during his previous term.

The five growth pillars presented by Candidate Kim on this day are: investment, jobs, daily life, regions, and the future. To transform Jeonbuk’s economic structure, he has set out a plan to attract more than 15 large corporate affiliates and secure a total investment of 50 trillion won.

Candidate Kim explained his vision is not limited to simply bringing in companies, but to create a virtuous cycle in which investment leads directly to actual employment and increased sales for local businesses. In the area of jobs, he pledged to establish a customized workforce supply system called “Jeonbuk-style Quick Start,” nurture 10,000 AI talents and 1,000 young AI CEOs, and foster 1,000 youth startups, thereby building a foundation for young people to settle in Jeonbuk. Also included are welfare policies to firmly support residents’ daily lives and customized strategies for balanced growth across all 14 cities and counties.

The key measures include expanding housing support for young people and newlyweds, introducing half-price postpartum care centers and a 365-day childcare system to ease the burden of parenting, and realizing inclusive welfare by providing rural mobile care, safe return programs for women, bus fare support for the elderly, operating community nurses, and supporting the independence of people with disabilities.

By region, the plan is to develop Jeonju as a hub for finance, culture, and youth startups; Gunsan as a forward base for future vehicles, ports, and energy; Iksan as a center for food, bio, and logistics; and to secure growth engines suited to the eastern region—Jinan, Muju, Jangsu, and others—by linking agri-bio, wellness tourism, and public healthcare in accordance with each area’s characteristics.

Candidate Kim declared, "We will develop Saemangeum as a future industry hub that integrates an eco-friendly renewable energy (RE100) industrial complex, an AI mega campus, the hydrogen industry, and advanced smart farms."

He further stated, "To enhance Jeonbuk’s brand value worldwide and advance the region’s infrastructure, I will pursue hosting the '2036 Summer Olympics.' Through the five major projects and 100 key pledges announced today, I promise to take full responsibility for every aspect of residents’ lives and work tirelessly for Jeonbuk’s success."
