Gwangju Mayor Park Kwan-yeol announced on October 14 that he aims to create tangible changes in daily life as he marks his 100th day in office. He emphasized the importance of direct communication with citizens to share the city’s achievements and promote policies that resonate with the community.


On October 15 at 4 p.m., Mayor Park will host a '100-Day Talk Concert' at the Namhansanseong Hall of the Gwangju Cultural and Arts Center, where over 500 citizens, including representatives and general attendees, are expected to participate.


This event is designed to share key policies and achievements since the start of his administration and to explore future directions based on feedback from the community.


During the event, Mayor Park will engage in discussions with representatives from various sectors closely related to citizens' lives, including youth, transportation, the elderly, people with disabilities, and small business owners. He plans to respond directly to their concerns and policy suggestions.


Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions and share their opinions freely.


Mayor Park intends to review the suggestions made during the event with relevant departments and ensure they are incorporated into future policy initiatives.


As the 100-day mark of his administration approaches, Gwangju citizens are keen to see whether Mayor Park's governance will lead to real changes in their daily lives.


There is a growing expectation for practical improvements in local issues such as transportation, youth policies, welfare for the elderly and people with disabilities, and support for small businesses.


In particular, citizens are calling for ongoing communication that goes beyond a one-time event, urging that their voices be reflected in policy decisions.


Mayor Park Kwan-yeol stated, “If the past 100 days were a starting point for fulfilling my promises to the citizens, it is now time for those changes to translate into tangible results in their daily lives.” He added, “I hope this talk concert will be a meaningful opportunity to hear the vibrant voices of our citizens and to contemplate the future of Gwangju together.”
