The Hwaseong Special City Council (Chairman Lee Gye-cheol) attended the "8th Love for the Country Taegeukgi Drawing Contest" held on the 17th at the indoor gymnasium of Jang-an University, congratulating the event's opening and encouraging participating children.


The event was attended by Chairman Lee Gye-cheol; council members Kwon Young-hak, Park Jinhee, Shin Mijeong, Oh Moonseop, Yoo Sanghee, Jang Donghee, Jeong Myeonghee, Choi Cheonghwan, and Choi Taeyang; Choi Hyunseok, president of the Hwaseong City Chapter of the Korea Freedom Federation; more than 300 kindergarteners, elementary students, and their parents.


This contest, organized by the Hwaseong City Chapter of the Korea Freedom Federation, was designed to give children an opportunity to draw the Taegeukgi themselves, fostering a sense of patriotism while naturally learning the importance of history, traditions, and security. The participating children completed unique pieces of art featuring their imagination and individuality on the themes of love for the country, traditions, and security. The submitted works will be reviewed, and an awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on August 29 in the main auditorium of the Veterans Hall.


In his congratulatory address, Chairman Lee Gye-cheol explained the council’s role in terms children could relate to. He said, "Just as you may find inconveniences in daily life, such as cars speeding on your way to school or a lack of places to run and play freely, the Hwaseong Special City Council is the place where council members representing citizens discuss these issues and seek solutions together."



He added, "Just as the proud image of the Republic of Korea will unfold on your drawing paper, we will do our utmost to ensure Hwaseong Special City grows into an even safer and more pleasant city to live in."
