About 100 people, including Mayor Bang Se-hwan, city and provincial council members, and local residents, attended the completion ceremony to share the progress of the parking lot construction and celebrate the opening of the facility.

The annexed parking lot of Hogukbohun Park was completed with a total project cost of 5.1 billion KRW (500 million KRW from the national government, 900 million KRW from the provincial government, 2 billion KRW from special adjustment grants, and 500 million KRW from special local tax), to alleviate parking inconveniences for park visitors and local residents.
