Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province will enhance citizens' right to know and promote an 'open administration' by live streaming executive meetings that address key provincial issues.
The province announced on July 29 that it will conduct a pilot live stream of executive meetings starting with the session on August 3 at 9 a.m. in the Comprehensive Situation Room, with a total of three live streams scheduled from August to October.
After assessing the system's stability, the province plans to fully implement the initiative in November.
The live streaming of executive meetings, which is the first approval by Governor Lee Won-taek in his term, aims to clearly communicate the province's core vision and philosophy while demonstrating a commitment to change and innovation that citizens can feel.
This initiative seeks to enhance administrative transparency by directly conveying the governor's policy direction and philosophy to both the working-level staff and the public.
Anyone can watch the live stream without time or space restrictions. By accessing the official website of Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province via a PC or smartphone and clicking on the 'Executive Meeting Live Stream' banner on the main page, viewers will be automatically connected to the official YouTube channel to watch the meeting in real time.
The meetings will last a total of 90 minutes, during which key tasks will be reported by departments, followed by a Q&A session between the governor and department heads.
The province will also implement a split-screen format that simultaneously displays the speaker's video and meeting materials, allowing citizens to intuitively grasp the meeting's content.
To accommodate mobile viewing, the province plans to increase the font size of meeting materials and simplify complex terms into everyday language for better accessibility.
In addition to live streaming executive meetings, the province is promoting the full opening of the provincial government building. This will allow citizens to visit departments freely without the need for ID storage or visitor pass issuance from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays.
Earlier this month, Governor Lee Won-taek stated in an executive meeting, "Currently, there is a perception that the government building is somewhat closed off, as visitors must leave their IDs and obtain passes to enter. We will quickly establish specific opening measures to allow citizens to visit the building without inconvenience."
Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province is recruiting university students from both inside and outside the province for the '2026 Jeonbuk Love Supporters 1st Term' to enhance the national recognition and utilization of the Jeonbuk Love Citizen Card.
According to the province on July 30, this supporters program aims to leverage the fresh ideas and social media skills of university students to widely promote the various benefits of the Jeonbuk Love Citizen Card and encourage visits to Jeonbuk and local consumption.
The recruitment is open to around 20 university students, including those on leave of absence.
Selected supporters will be organized into five teams and will be active from August to December for approximately five months.
Supporters will create promotional content for the Jeonbuk Love Citizen Card and engage in both online and offline promotional activities.
They will also experience the discounted partner stores of the citizen card and share user reviews, while suggesting improvements and activation plans from the user's perspective.
Those interested in applying can submit their applications via email by filling out the form posted on the official websites of Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province and the Jeonbuk Love Citizen Card from July 30 to August 13 at 6 p.m.
The province will conduct a document review based on motivation for application, experience in social media and content creation, promotional ideas, and activity plans to select the final candidates.
Meanwhile, the Jeonbuk Love Citizen Card is a mobile citizen card issued to residents outside Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province, aimed at promoting tourism in Jeonbuk and increasing the resident population.
