Afterwards, at 11 a.m., Mayor Park will receive his certificate of election at the Busan Election Commission.

At 1:20 p.m., he will sign the handover documents in his office at Busan City Hall and immediately receive a briefing on pending Busan city administration issues, while reviewing and approving them.

The first site he will visit as mayor after receiving the certificate of election is the vaccine inoculation center.

At 4 p.m., Mayor Park plans to visit the Citizen Sarangchae at Busan Citizens Park, where COVID-19 vaccinations are being administered, to inspect the vaccination situation.
