[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Roh Hyun-song, Mayor of Gangseo-gu, Seoul, said, "With the determination of Haehyeon-gyeongjang, I will communicate with residents and make a new leap forward."

In his 2021 New Year's address, Mayor Roh said, "The new morning of the Year of the Ox (辛丑年) has dawned. The prolonged COVID-19 situation weighs heavily on our hearts and brings sorrow. However, I earnestly hope that this new year will be one where we wisely overcome this unprecedented crisis and are filled with lively smiles."

He also stated, "The seventh term of the local government, which has been running tirelessly, has now passed the halfway point and is well into the second half. Over the past 10 years, through the fifth and sixth terms, our district has grown rapidly day by day, starting with the development of the Magok district, and has now established itself as the central city of the southwest area and a representative city of Seoul that everyone is paying attention to."

Mayor Roh said, "I believe that the solid foundation for our district's future growth and the various achievements we have created and moved forward with were possible thanks to the residents who have gathered their strength and wisdom for regional development and added value to the district administration through their generous support and participation."

He added, "Now is the time to prepare for the post-COVID-19 era. All of us, including myself and the public officials of Gangseo-gu, will not relax our vigilance in difficult times but return to basics and adhere to principles with the mindset of ‘Haehyeon-gyeongjang (解弦更張: loosening and retightening the strings of a geomungo, meaning to restore tension to something that has become slack).’ We will always cooperate and communicate with residents to open the future of Gangseo-gu as a sustainable innovative growth city."

Mayor Roh also stated, "Furthermore, based on continuous change and effort, I will do my best to listen to the various voices coming from the field of life and create a better life and happiness for the residents."
