내용

Busan Metropolitan City, led by Mayor Chun Jae-soo, announced that it will hold the “Public Forum on Busan Sports Policy for the 9th Elected Administration” tomorrow, October 7, at 1:30 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Busan Sports Council Building (Wolgye Hall), under the slogan “Sports for Everyone to Enjoy, Busan as a Sports Hub City.”

Approximately 100 sports-sector stakeholders and citizens selected through an open recruitment process will attend the event to share a wide range of views on Busan’s overall sports policy and discuss major issues.

Busan Metropolitan City has been conducting a research project to formulate the “First Busan Basic Plan for Sports Promotion (2027–2031)” and has collected input from the field through meetings and working groups involving sports-sector stakeholders, professors, and other experts.

The forum will begin with an expert presentation by the Busan Development Institute (BDI) on “The Present and Future of Sports in Busan.” Mayor Chun Jae-soo will then respond directly, on the spot, to questions submitted in advance and at the venue across five areas: recreational sports, elite sports, inclusive sports, the sports industry, and sports facilities.

Questioners have been selected evenly across different groups and fields, including Busan Sports Council representatives, student athletes, representatives of sports organizations, and members of the general public. Additional questions will also be accepted at the venue.

In addition to opinions submitted online in advance, participants may freely submit suggestions and requests concerning Busan’s sports policy through a “Message Wall” to be installed on the first floor of the Busan Sports Council Building on the day of the event.

Busan Metropolitan City will also livestream the event on its website at https://www.busan.go.kr/livebusan. Comments and opinions submitted by citizens during the livestream will be reviewed by the relevant departments and reflected in the development of the sports policy vision for the 9th elected administration.

The views collected and refined through this forum will also be incorporated into a special lecture on the “Busan Sports Policy Vision for the 9th Elected Administration,” which Mayor Chun Jae-soo is scheduled to deliver in person on October 12 in the Main Auditorium on the first floor of Busan City Hall.

The event will run for 50 minutes from 3:00 p.m. on October 12 in the Main Auditorium on the first floor of Busan City Hall, with approximately 500 participants, including sports experts and stakeholders, public officials, and citizens.

Mayor Chun Jae-soo said, “Based on the diverse and vivid voices of sports experts and people in the field that will be captured through this forum, we will develop a new vision for Busan’s sports policy that embodies the governing philosophy of the 9th elected administration.”
