The Daejeon Metropolitan Council and City have initiated new governance and advisory structures. In August 2026, the Council appointed its 10th term advisory committee, consisting of 30 experts from academia, industry, and legal professions, to provide policy advice and research support through five specialized subcommittees.

Following this, in September 2026, Daejeon Metropolitan City announced a recruitment drive for 100 members to form its inaugural Youth Council. Aiming to become a ‘Youth Special City’, the initiative seeks to establish a bottom-up governance structure where members aged 18 to 39 participate in policy formulation and monitoring through four specialized committees.
