The police applied for an arrest warrant in consideration of the fact that A was already in the period of repeated convictions with the same criminal record and the court accepted it and issued a warrant Naju Police Station plans to continue its investigation into whether or not additional crimes have been committed will provide 100,000 won per person in local currency to all county residents starting next month Those eligible for payment are county residents and some foreign registered residents who are registered in Namhae-gun as of April 15 The total amount of payments is about 4 billion won there is a controversy over the part where Namhae-gun The current financial independence of Namhae-gun is only 10.04% Fiscal independence has also hovered at 7-9% over the past five years making it one of the local governments with poor finances also paid 100,000 won in local currency per citizen earlier this year The total amount of payments amounts to 11.2 billion won "It is to help small business owners and self-employed people and boost consumption." However Naju City also has only 14% of its financial independence Naju City is encouraging the use of local currency by the end of this month as consumption of local currency does not occur quickly the controversy over "populism" has risen again as local governments scramble to distribute large-scale cash-based subsidies regardless of their financial independence Although the cause is "stabilizing people's livelihoods," "revitalizing the local economy," and "increasing the population," criticism is growing that it is a pork-barrel populist policy aimed at simultaneous local elections nationwide scheduled for June next year According to local governments nationwide on the 29th most local governments that pay public welfare subsidies have a low level of financial independence and Haenam-gun (7.8%) have recently paid local currency or prepaid cards worth 100,000 to 300,000 won Some local governments are even offering "cash scholarships" to attract population is implementing a system that provides subsidies of up to 2.8 million won when university students from other regions move in are also providing cash of around 1 million won to university students The problem is that such subsidies for people's livelihoods are out of control because they can be promoted only by enacting their own ordinances without consultation with the central government It is acting as a factor that seriously deteriorates the soundness of the already weak local finances According to the Ministry of Public Administration and Security 81.5% of the 225 basic local governments nationwide have less than 30% of financial independence Opinions are also divided on the effect of boosting consumption through local currency or cash support Since local currency can only be used in certain regions it is pointed out that the net effect on the overall economy is limited Even the effectiveness of the cash aid is questioned which provides subsidies to college students who move in it is estimated that less than 25% of college students who moved in last year maintained their addresses for more than a year paid congratulations to high school graduates the phenomenon that pork-barrel policies are spreading like dominoes due to "competition for senses" between local governments is also a problem When certain local governments begin to provide subsidies neighboring local governments are competitively introducing similar policies and spreading indiscriminately nationwide "We can't be the only ones who don't give it to the next region it can be seen as boosting consumption to the entire economy of Korea." There are many cases of conflict with local councils as such a pork-barrel policy is used to build up local government administration Geoje Mayor Byun Kwang-yong pledged to pay 200,000 won per citizen during the April 2 by-elections About 230,000 Geoje citizens are eligible for payment the Geoje City Council is in pain over the passage of the ordinance the Democratic Party of Korea and the people's power are made up of seven equal members making it impossible to guarantee that the plenary session will pass lawmakers of the People's Power strongly oppose it has also been paying 300,000 won per county as a prepaid card for Jeongseon Arirang gift certificates in the name of public welfare recovery support since March The proposal for the subsidy was rejected once by the county council earlier this year and there were divided opinions in the region Experts advise that structural prescriptions are more necessary policies for local governments than cash-based support to boost short-term consumption "Even subsidies in the name of revitalizing the local economy can eventually add to the financial crisis if implemented without long-term plans and analysis of effects," an official at the Korea Institute of Local Administration said "We should focus on structural measures such as job creation and improvement of living conditions." LG Chem decided to suspend alcohol production at its Naju plant in South Jeolla Province citing increased competition from low-cost Chinese petrochemical products and rising logistics and transportation costs The move reflects ongoing belt-tightening across the petrochemical industry with the company recently stopping operations at the plant’s alcohol production line which had an annual capacity of 200,000 tons and holding employee briefings regarding reassignment Affected staff will be relocated to other departments within the Naju facility or transferred to plants in Yeosu or Daesan LG Chem previously produced alcohol at both its Yeosu and Naju plants the company’s total alcohol production capacity will be reduced by about half leaving the Yeosu plant solely responsible for producing 200,000 tons annually The Naju plant had been manufacturing alcohol due to declining demand in the petrochemical sector the plant ceased acrylic acid production in December 2023 and has now halted alcohol production as well Korea’s inflation rises 2.1% in April KEPCO, KHNP clash over UAE nuclear plant costs Korean Air teases new logo ahead of Asiana Airlines integrat..

In order to revitalize the original city center and open the 5 million Naju tourism era Naju City will also promote the creation of Yeongsangang River gardens Najucheon ecological water road restoration and wide-area tourism projects in the southern region is an indispensable economic power of Naju City Naju City saw its exports of fresh agricultural products and processed foods such as Naju pear and Naju rice increase by about 20% from 87 billion won in 2022 to 100 billion won last year it also pioneered a new market by signing 37.3 billion won worth of agricultural and fishery food export agreements with eight local retailers in five countries which is popular as a healthy hangover drink in Australia the popularity of Naju rice is soaring day by day and the export of Naju rice (Saecheongmu rice) to the European market has also broken Fresh rice was exported to Hungary in Europe for the first time this year after New Zealand Naju City has greatly expanded the introduction of foreign seasonal workers The number of foreign workers exceeded 700 this year This revitalized aging rural workers and reduced labor costs by about 8.7 billion won over the past two years Naju Mayor Yoon Byung-tae has met with residents since his inauguration "The monthly village sit-down meeting comes from my will to cherish the voices of all residents without being left out although the number of villages visited is small."

Among them a makgeolli brewery using Naju specialty products in Jeollanam-do If you follow Naju Lake on the stem of the Yeongsangang River you will find the Dado Chamju Brewery with a history of more than 65 years which has been running for three generations It occupies 70% of the Naju makgeolli market by introducing four types of makgeolli using Naju specialty products Dado Chamju put hygienic and modern facilities ahead in the process of selecting a "visiting brewery." The company name "Chamju" also used "旵" It means 'alcohol that will not be ashamed even if it is seen in a bright place' "After studying makgeolli for more than 60 years I realized that the taste changes even with a difference in temperature or humidity," said Jang Yeon-soo "We realized a stable taste through cleanliness and fine temperature control in the factory." The old brewery so it is highly utilized as an exhibition and experience space Representative products using Naju's specialties also played a part All of the products were made of Naju rice as the main ingredient which are fruit stocks using Naju Hallabong and Seolhyang strawberries "Rabong" won the grand prize in the table wine category of the "Korea Our Liquor Exhibition." You don't drink alcohol so that it becomes rice cake I participated in the experience of making makgeolli using the common white rice cake we know Dado Chamju made a separate Baekseolgi that does not add sweetness for the experience It has been with the lives of ordinary people for more than a thousand years and it was eaten the most as a bird when farming During the rice farming special of the entertainment show Infinite Challenge comedian Jung Joon-ha ate and fell asleep during the recording was also makgeolli CEO Jang told interesting facts from the process of making makgeolli at home to the current principle of making makgeolli The makgeolli experience is prepared only by △water △yellow △white rice cake The ratio of rice to water in makgeolli making is life Most makgeolli breweries match the ratio of 1 to 1.5 This is because the snowflake has moisture If you tear the white rice cake into small pieces and put it in the container The yeast is added about 5% based on the weight of rice If you add about a spoon of the prepared spoon the component of glycosylase is oozing out Take out half the yeast and water and put it between the rice cakes Spread the white rice cake with the idea of filling the air layer between the rice cakes If you repeat the same process and make it into two layers The subsequent temperature management determines the taste of makgeolli It should be stored between 13°C and 15°C on average you can maintain an appropriate temperature by putting it in an ice box and storing it outdoors It is also important to block the path to mold by stirring in the morning and evening for about a month the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries held a contest called "Drunk Rice" and topped the list of "Makgeolli English Nicknames." It is also fun to keep the makgeolli made at home and watch the rice take The process of completely separating the layer during the fermentation process can be seen with the naked eye The most important thing in the fermentation of makgeolli is 'overhydrated' This is because the alcohols manufactured in the factory maintain a stable taste through three-stage locking As soon as you continue to taste and taste the alcohol you want If you want to eat it in the form of rice wine you can only eat it along the top of the separated layer You can add more water and drink it lightly filter it out in a tray and add more water it is said to be filtered using a nylon inner skirt of hanbok instead of a tray makgeolli also smells different depending on the temperature." changes its taste from moment to moment depending on temperature and humidity people directly controlled the temperature every 10 minutes It is a really tricky drink because it is greatly affected by the season or weather is also called 'super sensitive alcohol' that can be given up I toured the makgeolli manufacturing process through a tour of the brewery Rice is in full fermentation in the production room It is said that the original name of alcohol was 'Waterbul' It's fun to watch the bubbling air come up The factory automatically adjusts the temperature and humidity of each space through smart design It is said that he saved the effort by checking the real-time situation with his smartphone "We speculate that certain microorganisms cause hangovers The importance of cleanliness in the process has significantly reduced the hangover of makgeolli and changed the taste," he said In order to prevent the invasion of bad microorganisms the brewery was constructed with stainless steel on the wall and crite on the floor which is an antibacterial sterilization flooring The most parasitic place for microorganisms in the makgeolli manufacturing process is the piping valve All valves were custom-made in a separate type and the facilities were changed to enable physical cleaning The near-perfect hygiene participant received KFDA citation in 2017 and 2023 you can taste products such as △ Rabong △ Thaling △ Chamju Raw Makgeolli △ Chamju Sol Makgeolli The makgeolli of Dado Chamju tastes like 'clear takju' It's a combination of words that naturally come out "Is this makgeolli?" but it embodied the taste This is why unnecessary microorganisms have been removed to change the taste so even those who are not good at drinking can drink without feeling rejected turns into a pretty fruit color like a chameleon The fresh fruit scent and the carbonation of makgeolli harmonize neatly you will have to shake it back and forth just enough to mix the by-products Makgeolli is served in a glass made by the brewery Dado Chamju made two glasses to match each makgeolli "You can also drink makgeolli in a pretty glass I want to make them eat with their eyes and mouth like when they drink wine," he said Let's abandon the prejudice that makgeolli only goes well with pajeon It is also good to mix it with spicy food such as tteokbokki and malatang Dado Chamju recommends a new combination of "Chimak" instead of chicken and beer This is because the carbonation of makgeolli holds the oil well CEO Jang Yeon-soo is also serving as the president of the Association of Traditional Liquor in Jeollanam-do along with the representative of the tea ceremony participant He also formed deep ties with other traditional liquor in Jeollanam-do you can also taste traditional Jeonnam liquor such as △Jindo Hongju △ Sookhee 59 △ Chusungju △ Monastery Beer providing beautiful scenery from the road to visit I visited two tourist attractions in Naju along Naju Lake Naju 'Bulsa' is a temple built in the first year of Taehwa (366) in Dongjin by Indian monk Marananta It is located in the middle of Deokryongsan Mountain it is surrounded by autumn leaves and cherry blossoms tea trees native to Deokryongsan Mountain are planted behind the temple Deokryongsan Mountain is currently operating an experience program such as temple stay and setting up a deck road for visitors to the Buddhist temple I stopped by the sincere '3917 Welcome Cafe' on the Naju ship The reception cafe is a hanok cafe located next to Naju Hyanggyo the "Bashy Drink Series" made of Naju pears stands out there are more than five types of drinks alone guest houses and experience events are being held to greet each other Naju Dado Chamju's specialties were displayed along with makgeolli I was able to get a glimpse of how closely the Naju tourism business is supporting each other One of the criteria for selecting a visiting brewery is the 'rich tourism resources nearby' I hope you can make and taste local traditional liquor yourself and hear beautiful places in the region who recently hinted at the possibility of running for president talked about the failure to run a meat restaurant while looking back on his political life Former Prime Minister Kim appeared as a guest on TV Chosun's "Foodman Heo Young-man's Baekban Travel," which aired on the 26th When Heo Young-man asked why he chose Naju "Is the electoral district in Naju?" former Prime Minister Kim said "The actions of politicians do not have every vote and I wanted to go to a place where I didn't know anyone "That was when the pear blossoms were in full bloom I was very depressed because I was defeated but I regained my courage and confidence by seeing the pear flowers," he said When asked about the reaction of local residents at the time of joining the Democratic Party wouldn't you have to go to the Kim Young-sam party and do it?" Then he was selected as a deputy spokesperson of the Democratic Party led by the president of Kim Dae Jung," he said Former Prime Minister Kim recalled opening a meat restaurant "Haro Dongseon" in the middle of Gangnam with lawmakers who failed to win the Democratic Party Harodongseon (夏爐冬扇) means "the furnace of summer and the fan of winter," meaning waiting for the day when unsuccessful lawmakers will be used again so I took over as the sales manager because they told me to catch a wind," adding I thought I was building a building quickly When Heo Young-man pointed out that it was an open shot "We didn't know that and we thought it would continue to work well but I closed it after two years," he said bitterly "There always seems to be a shadow behind politicians' moves," former Prime Minister Kim looked back Kim did not directly announce his intention to run for president but said he would not hesitate to play an active role the possibility of former Prime Minister Kim becoming a focal point of the non-Lee Myung-gye in the party is constantly being discussed depending on the situation 1 player who won the gold medal in the women's badminton singles at the 2024 Paris Olympics for the first time in 28 years Sports and Tourism investigated the Korea Badminton Association which organized the 'An Se-young Welcome Preparatory Committee' who was the secretary-general of the Naju Sports Council and transferred to Pungam Elementary School in Gwangju to learn badminton from Lee Yong-dae's teacher Choi Young-ho in the first grade of Jungang Elementary School in Naju he graduated from Gwangju Sports Middle School and Gwangju Sports High School Naju City shared the joy of winning the gold medal by watching Ahn Se-young's final match with more than 200 citizens at Naju Sports Park's multi-purpose gymnasium on the afternoon of the 5th following the group cheering for the quarterfinals on the 3rd Naju Mayor Yoon Byung-tae also promised to build a gym in his hometown of Naju named after Ahn Se-young who won the first Olympic women's singles gold medal in badminton in 28 years Naju City formed a welcome preparation committee and made extensive preparations to share Ahn Se-young's visit to his hometown with all citizens the situation is spreading as Ahn Se-young openly expressed dissatisfaction with the Badminton Association at the gold medal press conference Sports and Tourism announced on the 12th that it will launch an investigation into the Korean Badminton Association "We will comprehensively look at the system-related issues and the execution and operation of subsidies by the association as well as understanding the circumstances of the controversial injury management and suspicions of forcing Ahn to participate in the competition on the 5th."
