[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jonghyo] Ha Tae-gyeong, the prospective candidate for Haeundae-gu Gap, Busan, of the United Future Party, and Jeong Dong-man, the prospective candidate for Gijang-gun, have jointly proposed the extension of Subway Line 2 to Songjeong and Gijang as a common campaign pledge.

On the morning of the 25th, the two candidates held a press conference in front of the Busan City Council and announced, "We have agreed to set the extension of Subway Line 2 to Songjeong and Gijang as a joint transportation pledge."

Candidate Ha stated, "In the case of Haeundae, the extension of Line 2 is necessary to alleviate the inconvenience of residents traveling between Songjeong and Gijang," adding, "Busan City should promptly review this in light of the activation of the East Busan tourist complex and the addition of large-scale development plans, and strive to ensure that the extension project is not further delayed."

Candidate Jeong argued, "In addition to the existing users within the East Busan tourist complex, the recent opening of IKEA has explosively increased traffic flow not only between Gijang and Haeundae but also in the surrounding areas," emphasizing, "The extension of Subway Line 2 must be pursued to resolve residents' transportation inconveniences and improve transportation convenience within the East Busan tourist complex."

The 'Prompt Promotion of the Songjeong-Gijang Subway Line 2 Extension Project,' which they proposed as a joint transportation pledge, is the route formerly known as the 'East Busan Line,' connecting Jangsan Station in Haeundae-gu, passing through Songjeong, and linking to Gijang Station in Gijang-gun.
