The briefing session will proceed with a greeting from President Song Ha-cheol of Mokpo University, followed by an explanation of key matters such as the progress of the university integration by Planning Director Cha Joo-hwan, and a schedule for Q&A and opinion collection.

The university integration also aims to attract a national medical school and university hospital, a long-standing wish of 34 years in Jeonnam, to resolve medical blind spots in the region.

President Song Ha-cheol stated, "This briefing session is an opportunity to inform community members about the progress of university integration and to share with local residents the goals that Mokpo University aims for through the integration, such as industrial development and improvement of medical welfare in Jeonnam." He added, "We plan to actively reflect the diverse opinions of community members in the university integration promotion plan."
