Councilor Woo said, "I believe this is the result of consistently engaging in field activities to listen to and reflect the voices of those who have nowhere else to turn for their difficulties," adding, "I will do my best to create a local government where residents are the true owners through unwavering efforts."

Meanwhile, Councilor Woo Seung-hee played a major role in strengthening the status of the local council while serving as a member of the 10th Jeollanam-do Provincial Assembly and served as the Chairperson of the Education Committee in the first half of the 11th Assembly. Currently, she is actively engaged in legislative activities emphasizing policy changes in Jeonnam education centered on students.

In particular, over the past seven years, she has demonstrated excellent legislative activity by representing 44 ordinances and 12 resolutions and proposals, voicing field concerns, and has been recognized for her competence and diligence as a local council member through provincial government questions on major issues.
