According to political circles on March 1, the book launch event held the previous day at the Gwangju Kim Daejung Convention Center was attended by Kang Deukgu, Supreme Council Member of the Democratic Party, and lawmakers Park Jiwon, Kim Taenyeon, Lee Haesik, Kim Seonghoe, and Lee Geontae. Also present were Kim Yeongrok, Governor of South Jeolla Province, and Kang Gijeong, Mayor of Gwangju. National Assembly members Min Hyungbae, Ahn Dogeol, Park Kyuntaek, and Jeon Jinsuk, as well as Kim Daejung, Superintendent of Education for South Jeolla, actor Lee Giyoung, other Democratic Party figures, and about 3,000 citizens joined the event. Lawmakers Han Junho and Cheon Junho, as well as actor Jung Junho, sent congratulatory messages via video.
In his special lecture as the author, Assemblyman Jung shared with local residents the direction he has considered for administrative integration, solutions for regional development obtained through citizen inquiries, and behind-the-scenes stories from the National Assembly's discussions on the independent passage of the Gwangju-South Jeolla administrative integration bill.
His book, "Joonho Jung's Conversations: Listening to Honam," includes the voices of Gwangju and South Jeolla citizens he heard while working as a young politician and outlines the future direction for the integrated special city. Assemblyman Jung stated, "It is a meaningful opportunity to look back on the time spent listening to each and every resident, starting as a lawyer who resolved small disputes at Malbau Market and later bringing together their voices in the National Assembly. I will continue to move forward with unwavering determination, presenting the right direction so that administrative integration becomes a new opportunity for Honam to leap forward."
