'Opening Goheung's Future Through Culture and Arts' ... Goheung Cultural Foundation Launched

Gong Youngmin: "Building a Culturally Strong Goheung Powered by the Strength of Culture"

The "Goheung Cultural Foundation," a foundation corporation established to lead the promotion of culture and arts in Goheung County, Jeollanam-do (County Governor Gong Youngmin), and to expand opportunities for residents to enjoy culture, has officially announced its launch.

On June 30, the county announced that it had successfully held the launch ceremony for the Goheung Cultural Foundation on the 29th at the Kim Yeonsu Hall of the Goheung Cultural Center, with more than 500 participants, including officials from public institutions, people from the culture and arts sector, and local residents.

The event was attended by a large number of distinguished guests, including County Governor Gong Youngmin, Ryu Jedong, Chair of the Goheung County Council, county council members, figures from the culture and arts community, and residents, making the occasion even more special.

The event began with a progress report on the foundation's establishment, followed by a commemorative speech by County Governor Gong Youngmin, congratulatory remarks from key guests, and the screening of a launch and congratulatory video. Notably, the inaugural CEO, Song Jaeheon, directly presented his vision of "Opening the Future of Goheung through Culture and Arts," solidifying the Goheung Cultural Foundation's blueprint as the central axis of Goheung's cultural administration.

During the subsequent launch proclamation performance, local children and key guests took to the stage together to share the message, "The dreams of our childhood have become songs, paintings, and poems, and now make up today's culture." They pressed a symbolic button together, wishing for the leap of Goheung's culture and heightening the celebratory atmosphere.

Gong Youngmin, the chairperson of the Goheung Cultural Foundation and county governor, emphasized in his commemorative address, "It is just as important to build a 'culturally strong Goheung,' where residents' daily lives are enriched, as it is to attract a national industrial complex to our county." He added, "The Goheung Cultural Foundation will not merely be an organization that supports events, but will take on the central role of comprehensively planning local culture and arts policies and realizing both creative activities for artists and cultural welfare for residents."

Goheung County and the Goheung Cultural Foundation plan to deeply develop Goheung's proud cultural assets—such as artist Chun Kyungja, educator Mok Ilsin, and poet Song Sugwon—while also combining this with the future vision of "Goheung as a central city for aerospace." They aim to actively develop unique and differentiated cultural content that can only be found in Goheung.
