Local participation and the pace of any expansion will depend on the central government\u2019s rollout schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Seo noted that some parts of South Jeolla Province were chosen as pilot sites and called for action to close regional disparities. \u201cAlthough Gwangyang, Damyang and Yeongam in South Jeolla were selected as pilot sites this year, Yeosu \u2014 the hub of the province\u2019s eastern region \u2014 remains excluded,\u201d he said. \u201cWe must swiftly address Yeosu falling behind in the Lee administration\u2019s core disability-rights policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that joining the government pilot is about more than securing national funding; it\u2019s about adapting the Lee administration\u2019s welfare philosophy to Yeosu\u2019s local context. Turning those principles into tangible policies that residents can feel is the city government\u2019s primary responsibility.<br
