Mayor Park Sang-don of Cheonan City began his New Year’s work in earnest by paying his respects at a New Year’s shrine on January 1st, the year of Eulsa.

On this day, Chungnam Eastern Veterans Affairs Office Director Lee Soon-hee, veterans and security organization heads, and Cheonan City officials attended the visit. Mayor Park visited the ‘Cheonan People’s Statue’, the Cheonan 46 Soldiers Memorial, the Gwangbokhoe Memorial, the War Memorial, and the Yu Gwan-sun Memorial Hall in that order, paying tribute to the spirits of the patriotic ancestors and the spirits of those who protected the country, and expressed gratitude for their sacrifice and devotion.

Mayor Park said at a gathering after paying his respects, “I would like to express my deepest condolences and comfort to the victims and their families regarding the recent passenger plane crash at Muan International Airport,” and added, “I hope that this new year will be a year in which all citizens of Cheonan can make a new leap forward with hope.”
