DAEJEON — Daejeon Metropolitan City is recruiting members for "Modu-ieum Mate," a citizen supporters group that will turn public suggestions into concrete policies and implementation plans, with applications accepted through the 17th.

The group will refine ideas selected through the 2026 Daejeon Siso topic contest, known as "Idea ON," and link citizen participation with policy implementation.

The city plans to select about 30 members. Applicants must be 19 or older and either live in Daejeon or work or study at a company, university or graduate school in the city. Applications may be submitted individually or as a team.

Applications are being accepted through a Naver form, and the final list of selected members will be announced on the 29th on the Daejeon Siso website.
