South #Korea built its new #space agency HQ in #Sacheon—but the core of the program still runs from Seoul, Daejeon and Goheung. Without shifting authority, a southern “space hub” exists only on paper. The question isn’t location. It’s control. breezeinflow.com/local-news/s...
Sacheon Hosts the Space Agency, but Seoul Still Makes the Decisions | Local News | Breeze in Busan
Korea placed its headquarters in the south, but authority, engineering and launch operations remain divided. Without structural change, the new hub cannot guide the national program.

Busan and Gyeongnam Seek Unity Amid Growing Divides | Busan news | Breeze in Busan
Calls for a Busan–Gyeongnam merger echo the rhetoric of regional revitalization but overlook its cause — the hollowing of local autonomy. Without stronger local leadership and fiscal independence, integration may simply redraw the map without changing the reality.
