Earlier that day, Mayor Lee also attended the opening ceremony of the '11th Baegam Baekjung Cultural Festival' in Baegam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, where he presented commendations to two residents for their contributions to preserving traditional culture, and engaged in discussions to promote Baegam’s development and harmony.


He remarked, "The Baegam Baekjung Cultural Festival is a meaningful tradition where ancestors who took root here encouraged one another for their hard work in farming, formed friendships, and wished for the peace and prosperity of the village. I would like to thank the Baegam residents and the Baekjung Cultural Preservation Committee for carrying on this tradition to this day."



He also emphasized, "With SK hynix’s 600 trillion won semiconductor project underway in Wonsam-myeon, Baegam residents are experiencing inconveniences such as parking and traffic issues.
