Three Local Governments in Gyeongsan, Yeongcheon and Cheongdo Draw Attention with Warm Giving and Vibrant Local Initiatives
Three local governments in Gyeongsangbuk-do—Gyeongsan City, Yeongcheon City and Cheongdo County—are bringing vitality to their communities through acts of neighborly generosity, vibrant local festivals and substantive administrative initiatives.
In Gyeongsan City, residents are being welcomed by a cultural arts festival alongside a family-led wave of charitable giving.
Chaegane Farm, based in Namcheon-myeon and represented by Chae Dongwoo, and SS Electric Co., Ltd., represented by Chae Donggwang, visited Gyeongsan City Hall on October 12 and donated 250 boxes of Shine Muscat grapes for local social welfare facilities.
The family joined together in this annual agricultural donation, giving it added meaning.
The 2026 Gyeongsan Comics Festival will also take place on October 17 and 18 in the area around Seosang-gil Youth Culture Village.
A wide range of programs for all ages will be offered, including a comics and webtoon creative competition, a talk concert with YouTuber TV Saengmul Dogam, an autograph session with author Ju Donggeun, an AI drawing experience and a Korea-Japan comics and webtoon forum.
Yeongcheon City is working to protect residents' property rights through accurate cadastral services while also announcing a major cultural festival.
The city inspected 661 cadastral control points in its jurisdiction, reinstalled 94 of the 119 points that had been lost, and is systematically managing a total of 3,809 control points to prevent land-boundary disputes and ensure a faster surveying process.
To mark the 1,217th anniversary of Eunhaesa Temple's founding, the city will also hold the Jungak Palgongsan Silver Culture Festival over two days, October 17 and 18.
On the first day, the program will include a historical exhibition on the righteous monk soldiers and Geungnakdorak, a rock concert celebrating victory in the Battle to Recapture Yeongcheonseong Fortress. The second day will conclude with a Gaesan Daejae Buddhist ceremony and the Silver Music Concert, featuring popular singers.
Cheongdo County is promoting its local economy through a sports festival and has also announced a substantial donation from a native son.
The 2026 Cheongdo Sinhwarang National Amateur Baseball Tournament, which opened on October 10 at Cheongdo Baseball Park, is bringing vitality to local businesses as around 1,000 amateur players from 72 teams across the country compete through October 25.
Also on October 12, Lee Pandae, CEO of Daehyun Sanggong Co., Ltd. and a native of Won-ri, Cheongdo-eup, completed a donation of KRW 100 million and became Cheongdo County's 12th member of the Honor Society.
