Rep. Kim Jung-jae holds 67th community outreach session in Pohang

Rep. Kim Jung-jae of the People Power Party, who represents Pohang's Buk-gu, held the 67th edition of his community outreach session at his Pohang district office on Saturday, listening to a range of residents' concerns.

Local provincial and city council members also attended, joining Kim in hearing residents' suggestions and discussing ways to cooperate on resolving local issues.

Kim met with residents to exchange views on a variety of local matters, including a push to raise benefit payments for veterans and a complaint related to a senior center in Yangdeok-dong.

Participants agreed on the need to properly honor veterans and expand support for them. Kim also heard suggestions on senior centers, with residents calling for more comfortable and safe environments where elderly community members can enjoy their leisure time.

"The voices of citizens are the direction of policy and the starting point of regional development," Kim said. "From honoring veterans and their families to addressing the everyday inconveniences faced by the elderly, I will listen carefully to every single resident and make sure no voice goes unheard."
