It has been 100 days since Jeonnam and Gwangju were merged and launched as Jeonnam-Gwangju Unified Special City, but various conflicts were expressed during the integration process, such as conflict over the location of the office building, competition for institutional maintenance functions, and concerns about polarization due to attracting a semiconductor cluster. The recent semiconductor wastewater treatment agreement with Jangseong-gun is evaluated as an example of the speed and efficiency of integrated administration.

Marking the 100th day since the merger of Jeonnam and Gwangju to launch Jeonnam-Gwangju Unified Special City, the foundation for industrial growth has been laid by attracting a semiconductor cluster, but practical integration tasks remain. By combining Gwangju's industrial land with Jeonnam's power, water, and renewable energy infrastructure, we are building a semiconductor cluster in the Honam region worth 800 trillion won. We are expanding into the AI, renewable energy, data center, materials, parts, and equipment industries, and are pursuing the project with the goal of first mass production in June 2030. We are also seeking a solution to the military airport relocation issue in connection with semiconductor investment.

The Changwon District Court announced that it sentenced Mr. A, in his 50s, to 1 year and 6 months in prison for violating the Act on Aggravated Punishment for Specific Crimes (threats of retaliation, etc.) and possessing a weapon in a public place. On July 19, Mr. A threatened Mr. B, a fish shop operator, with a weapon at a traditional market in Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. Before committing the crime, Mr. A was arrested by the police while drunk and walking around the market with a weapon from Mr. B's store. The court took into account the fact that the crime was committed during a period of repeated offenses and the victim's anxiety, but explained the reason for sentencing by taking into account the attitude of admitting and reflecting on the crime.
