Jinju City Council Launches 4th Nurisotong Support Group to Promote Council Affairs with Citizen Participation

Full-Scale Launch of the Nurisotong Support Group


Expectations Rise for Enhanced Council Communication and Greater Public Engagement

The Jinju City Council in South Gyeongsang Province announced on July 27 that it held the launch ceremony for the 4th Jinju City Council Nurisotong Support Group and has officially begun its promotional activities for council affairs.

The Nurisotong Support Group operates as a civilian supporter group that delivers information about the council's activities and key news from the citizens' perspective.

Starting this year, the group is divided into two sectors: a blog reporters group and the Nurigonggam group. The blog reporters group covers council proceedings and produces content such as articles and photos, while the Nurigonggam group supports communication with citizens by posting comments and sharing official social media (SNS) content from the council's channels.

Additionally, the eligibility for applicants has changed from a nationwide pool to residents of South Gyeongsang Province, placing greater emphasis on regionally focused promotional activities for the council.

At the launch ceremony, Vice Chair Kang Gilseon of Jinju City Council presented appointment letters to the support group members. This was followed by competency training on topics such as planning content that matches the citizens' perspective and operating social media channels. The training session was led by Miju Kim, CEO of Custompiece, who introduced case studies on producing promotional content for council affairs and managing channels.

Vice Chair Kang Gilseon said, "I hope everyone will utilize their respective channels to deliver council news in a way that is easy for citizens to understand," adding, "We look forward to this becoming an opportunity for the information that citizens need about council affairs to be communicated in a friendlier manner."

Meanwhile, Jinju City Council shares news about its activities, local issues, and various events through its official social media channels, including Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and its blog.

The 4th Nurisotong Support Group is set to carry out activities for one year, introducing major council affairs and council news from a citizens’ point of view.

The doors of local councils must always be open to citizens. When the activities of the council are effectively communicated, citizen participation and empathy can increase.

The role of the Nurisotong Support Group goes beyond simple promotion; it is to document and convey council affairs through the lens of the citizens. How faithfully this channel of communication operates will serve as another benchmark for building public trust in the local council.
