The expo was organized to share the achievements of residents' autonomy activities across South Gyeongsang Province and promote outstanding cases. It featured presentations of outstanding residents' autonomy cases, an outstanding club competition and an exhibition of outstanding works.

Twelve teams took part in the presentations of outstanding residents' autonomy cases, and 18 teams competed in the outstanding club competition. The winners were selected based on evaluations by professional judges and the results of a mobile vote by South Gyeongsang residents, among other factors.

The Gaho-dong Residents' Autonomy Council presented its residents' autonomy activities under the theme "A Happy Train Trip with Vulnerable Residents in Our Neighborhood" and won a top prize.

The initiative aims to increase resident participation and community interaction through a train trip program for vulnerable residents in the area. The Gaho-dong Korean Traditional Dance Team also took part in the outstanding club competition and won a top prize.

As a result, Gaho-dong won top prizes in both the outstanding residents' autonomy case presentation and the outstanding club competition, earning awards in two categories.

Meanwhile, the Cheonjeon-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee took part in the exhibition of outstanding works and showcased calligraphy pieces.

The exhibition booth featured a variety of handwritten works created by participants in residents' autonomy programs, introducing visitors to the cultural and artistic activities of local residents.

The city said that taking part in the expo provided an opportunity to share examples of residents' autonomy programs with other regions and consider ways to develop residents' autonomy activities.

A city official said, "Both teams from Gaho-dong won top prizes," adding, "We will continue to support related activities so that residents can take part in a variety of residents' autonomy programs."

Jinju City plans to continue operating programs tailored to the characteristics of each area and expanding resident participation, with residents' autonomy councils and committees at the center of these efforts.

Building on these awards, support is needed to promote outstanding residents' autonomy cases throughout the community and ensure the continued operation of diverse programs in which residents take part directly.
