President Yun Seok-Yeol: ``Redevelopment of Seoul's cultural and artistic infrastructure...I can't say I'm satisfied compared to its status.'' - South Korea

On the 19th, President Yoon Seo-gyeol said, ``Seoul's cultural and artistic infrastructure will be carefully redeveloped,'' and ``Considering Seoul's population of 9.5 million and its status as the national capital,
I can't say I'm satisfied by any means." On this afternoon, President Yoon visited the Munrae Art Factory in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, to create a new Hanggang project through urban innovation.
He made this comment at a public welfare debate held on the theme of ``The Miracle of the People's Republic of Korea''. President Yoon said, ``There is a disparity in cultural and artistic infrastructure, and the remaining facilities are aging and need comprehensive and sustained redevelopment.''
``I hope that the Arts Center project in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Munrae-dong, and the second Sejong Cultural Center construction project in Yeouido Park, which Seoul City is promoting, will move forward quickly.'' Quickly
"We will spare no effort in providing institutional support, such as progressing with the Kana investment screening process." President Yoon also expressed his intention to continuously expand cultural and artistic spaces.
President Yoon said, ``We will quickly remodel dilapidated spaces and create areas where national cultural and artistic facilities will be built.''
The idea is to revitalize it into a cultural and artistic center. The Mapo and Hongdae area, which is visited by many young people, is now open with the establishment of the Tanginri Cultural Creation Power Plant, which is reconstructing an abandoned thermal power plant.
``We will make it a center for youth composite arts.'' In addition, ``Seoul Station, Myeong-dong, and Namsan area will include a Seoul Station complex cultural space that will reconfigure the space of the Kimsa transportation fleet.
We want to build the Namsan Performing Arts Creation Center and make it the center of performing arts." He added, ``I and the government believe that Seoul will become a cultural city that represents K-culture, and that it will attract the attention of people around the world.''
We will actively support the city so that it becomes a powerful city."
