Governor Kim Kwan-young posted a message and a photo on his SNS account on the 14th, saying, "Gather Jeonbuk inhabitants' will!, Join forces!" and said that Jeonbuk State would develop a massive "GBCH* Challenge" aimed at spreading the interest and support of provincial residents to host the Olympics..

 

* GBCH: Short for the slogan "Go Beyond, Create Harmony" to host the 2036 Summer Olympics in Jeonbuk

 

The challenge will be held in two forms until the end of February, when the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee decides the domestic candidate city for the 2036 Summer Olympics.

 

The first is the relay-type challenge, with heads of major organizations in the province, corporate representatives and celebrities participating, starting with provincial governor Kim Kwan-young. They will post a photo or video of their wish to host the Jeonbuk Olympics on the agency's website or personal SNS account and point to follow-up runners.

 

The second is the free-type participation challenge. Anyone wishing to host the Olympics, including the province's sports community, culture and arts circles, college students and youth, can participate. He or she can post hashtags and cheering phrases such as the #2036 Summer Olympics #전북유치기원 on the SNS account along with photos. About 1,300 people have already joined the free participation type through SNS event sharing and YouTube cheering comments, and the enthusiasm for participation is expected to spread further.
