[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee, Ulsan=Reporter Junyi Park] Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party candidate visiting Ulsan, stated, "We will actively support the advancement of the automobile and shipbuilding industries," and through this, he pledged to firmly establish Ulsan's status as the 'industrial capital.'

On the 15th, Yoon attended the Ulsan City Election Countermeasures Committee's Victory Resolution Rally and said, "Ulsan is a symbol of advanced South Korea that has achieved an economic miracle and is the growth engine responsible for South Korea's industry and economy." He announced pledges including ▲establishing a hydrogen mobility cluster ▲designating a flying car special zone ▲promoting the shipbuilding and marine plant industries.

He also pledged to build urban rail transit in Ulsan, the only metropolitan city without a subway. Yoon said, "We will create a convenient Ulsan by completing the early construction of the Ulsan metropolitan railway and urban rail (tram)." Additionally, he plans to complete the Ulsan metropolitan railway (Southeast region circular railway, Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam metropolitan railway) early to provide a metropolitan transportation network connecting Ulsan~Yangsan~Busan and Gimhae.

Furthermore, he intends to establish the UNIST Medical Science Institute to build a world-class medical complex town. Yoon said he would review the construction of a top-tier general hospital in the downtown area (Second Ulsan University Hospital) and also promote the prompt establishment of the Ulsan Medical Center. To prepare for the continuous outflow of young population, he is considering relocating and attracting a comprehensive university to Ulsan and plans to secure competitiveness for existing regional universities through the creation of a Campus Innovation Park.

Yoon will promote the preservation of the Bangudae Petroglyphs, solve water supply issues, and expand the 'development restriction removal quota' for balanced development. According to the People Power Party, Ulsan has the lowest greenbelt release rate among the seven metropolitan cities, and Yoon has pledged to expand mayoral authority and relax standards as part of his campaign promises.

Yoon emphasized, "I will make March 9 a day of national victory," adding, "It will be a day when the rule of law we knew returns, fairness we knew returns, and common sense properly returns."
