President Yoon Seok-yeol is holding a ‘Dialogue with Youth’ with 15 local college students at a cafe in Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do on the 19th. 2024.01.19 Presidential Photojournalist Group President Yoon Seok-yeol met with college students in the Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province on the 19th and recalled memories he had experienced in Gangneung in the past. President Yoon attended the ‘Dialogue with Youth’ event held at a cafe in Gangneung City on this day. Attending the event were 15 local college students, 3 professors, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education Lee Joo-ho, Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min, and presidential staff.
President Yoon began by recalling the time when he worked as a prosecutor at the Gangneung Branch of the Chuncheon District Prosecutors’ Office from 1996 to 1997. President Yoon said, “I also lived in Ponam-dong a long time ago when I was working here in Gangneung. “At that time, Ponam-dong was developed and cafes were created,” he recalled. “The official residence in Ponam-dong was a row house, and in late 1996 and early 1997, it snowed so much that in the morning, the snow fell all the way to the eaves of the front door of the official residence, making it difficult to open the door.” . In addition, President Yoon, whose maternal family lives in Gangneung, said, “I remember when I was young and visited my maternal grandparents’ house during winter vacation, it snowed a lot.”
In the conversation that followed, the young people expressed various opinions on ▲school life ▲careers, employment, and starting a business ▲living support issues such as student loans and housing ▲development of local communities and local universities.
Meanwhile, this event was held at a cafe run by a young businessman who graduated from Catholic Kwandong University. This cafe also provided free coffee and shelter to firefighters during the Gangneung forest fire in April last year.
