The citizen preference survey will be held at the Yeongju City Hall General Civil Service Office from May 12 to 14, and at the Yeongju Station Travel Lounge from May 15 to 18. All Yeongju citizens are welcome to participate freely.

A foundation official stated, "We will actively reflect citizens' opinions to establish an integrated brand for Yeongju's representative cultural assets and strengthen the identity and competitiveness of the region's cultural tourism resources."
