(Muan = Yonhap News) Reporter Jeon Seung-hyun = Even though Jeonnam’s population has collapsed from 1.8 million, the ‘laughable thing’ is happening that Jeonnam Province is still using the province’s population as 2 million in various documents.
According to Jeonnam Province on the 25th, the population of the province according to resident registration as of the end of last month was 1.798 million, a drop of 1.8 million.
As of the end of December last year, the population, which was 1.804 million, decreased by 6,000 in three months and entered the 1.7 million range.
The population of Jeonnam stayed at around 2 million, including 2.507 million in 1990 and 2.13 million in 2000, but fell below the 2 million mark in July 2004.
However, Jeonnam Province still announces the population of Jeollanam-do as 2 million in the provincial organization chart, various press releases, and office administrative phone coloring (connection tone).
Even though 20 years have passed since the collapse of the 2 million population, we still cling to the ‘2 million population era.’
A civil servant from South Jeolla Province said, “It is understandable that the promotion of the population of 2 million is a desperate effort to prevent the extinction of the region, but I wish the facts were accurately reported.”
Regarding this, a provincial official said, “Considering the number of foreigners who are not counted in the resident registration (30,000 as of 2022), the actual population of South Jeolla Province is higher than the population of 1.798 million in the resident registration.” “I will do my best,” he said.
