On this day, Governor Kim Dongyeon discussed a wide range of topics, including the Immigration and Multicultural Affairs Bureau, the first of its kind among metropolitan governments, the use of reusable containers, large-scale discount events to revitalize neighborhood markets, and film festivals organized by Gyeonggi Province.
Governor Kim said, "Thank you for accepting the role of Gyeonggi Province publicity ambassador," and emphasized, "One out of every four people in Korea is a resident of Gyeonggi Province. In that sense, the publicity ambassadors are effectively representing a very large number of residents." He then spontaneously suggested that the ambassadors film a mukbang in Gyeonggi Province's traditional markets.
The publicity ambassadors appointed this time are figures who combine professional expertise and broad public recognition in their respective fields.
