Hong Joon-pyo: Daegu Secures Zero Funding for Trillion-Won Projects Under Current Administration

Former Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo has sharply criticized the current government, stating that the city has failed to secure any funding for its crucial long-term development projects. Hong asserted that despite the administration's promises, Daegu has been completely bypassed in government and corporate investment initiatives, receiving "not a single won" for its "100-year future projects."

Hong, speaking on Facebook, recalled the previous local election campaign. He reminded voters that the opposing candidate, Kim Bu-gyeom, had promised to complete Daegu's "100-year future" if elected. Hong implied that the current administration's priorities have led to Daegu being overlooked.

“

When we elected Chu Kyung-ho, didn't they say all of Daegu's 100-year future projects would be ruined?

"When we elected Chu Kyung-ho, didn't they say all of Daegu's 100-year future projects would be ruined?" Hong questioned, referencing a political opponent. He lamented that the city, which is envisioned to have government and corporate joint ventures worth trillions of won, has not attracted even minimal investment. The former mayor's remarks highlight a significant political and economic grievance for the city of Daegu.

Daegu has not brought in a single won for projects worth trillions of won that the government and corporations are jointly investing in.
