[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] On the 27th at 2 PM, an on-tact 'Talk Show Program' conducted by Mayor Lee Gang-deok with citizens at the Pohang City Hall main conference room was interrupted due to network instability.

The talk show, titled "Mayor, I have a question!" held using the video conferencing channel Zoom, was canceled after 20 minutes when the communication suddenly became unstable.

Originally scheduled for 1 hour and 30 minutes, the program was attended by 19 local women and youth.

A Pohang city official stated, "Due to COVID-19 restricting face-to-face communication with citizens, this event was planned as part of proactive administration to hear vivid voices from the field," adding, "We plan to hold the talk show again in the future."
