Gangwon State talk show's second episode to be released... Governor identifies farm produce by touch

【Financial News, Chuncheon = Reporter Kim Gi-seop】Comments left by Gangwon residents and inquiries to the call center have become the script for the next episode of Gangwon State's state administration talk show.
According to Gangwon State on the 10th, the second episode of the online public communication talk show “Hello, This Is Gangwon” will be released at 5 p.m. on the 11th on Gangwon State TV, the state's official YouTube channel. This episode focuses on Gangwon agriculture in celebration of Farmers' Day.
The broadcast opens with the story that Farmers' Day was first established in 1964 in Wonseong County (now Wonju-si). It introduces comments from residents posted on the first episode, and Governor Woo Sang-ho personally answers questions about support for people returning to farming.
An official from the state's Agricultural Products Distribution Division appears in the policy segment to share behind-the-scenes stories from the rice harvest in Cheorwon and introduce a toilet support program for fields and the country's first regional agricultural supply-and-demand management center. Passport issuance, the second-ranked call-center inquiry after the first episode aired, are also covered, with a staff member from the state civil affairs office explaining what applicants need to bring to complete their application in one visit.
In the “Governor, what is this?” segment, Governor Woo takes on a quiz in which he must identify Gangwon agricultural and marine products in a box by touch alone.
Kim Young-ho, spokesperson for the Gangwon State Government, said, “Just as the comments on the first episode and call-center inquiries directly became the topics of the second, a format where residents ask and the state answers is genuine communication.” He added, “We will continue to include residents' voices and develop this into a channel where anyone can take part in state administration without feeling burdened.”
