He stated, "I will serve the development of my hometown Gwangsan by utilizing my experience as chairman of the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education, chairman of the Gwangju City Council, and my experience at the central government."

The opening ceremony was graced by a large number of attendees including Lee Yong-seop, mayor of Gwangju; Lee Yong-bin, National Assembly member for Gwangsan-gap; Min Hyung-bae, National Assembly member for Gwangsan-eul; Kang Ki-jung, former senior secretary for political affairs at the Blue House; Lee Jung-jae, former president of Gwangju National University of Education; city and district council members; and local residents.

Assemblyman Lee Yong-bin praised, "Yoon Bong-geun is the only suitable candidate to lead the development of Gwangsan.

Mayor Lee Yong-seop emphasized, "The position of city council chairman requires overseeing the overall city administration. Yoon Bong-geun has served as city council chairman and as chairman of the council chairpersons' association of city and provincial councils, so there is no doubt about his capabilities."

He added, "If Yoon takes charge of Gwangsan's administration, Gwangsan will develop greatly."

Please support me so that I can serve the development of Gwangsan by leveraging my broad experience in education and politics."

He continued, "If the military airport is relocated, we can secure 2.48 million pyeong of land, and developing this area can create the best city. I will work together with the mayor of Gwangju on this military airport relocation."

He also explained, "If the Pyeongdong artillery range and Dongbaek training ground can be relocated, an additional 2 million pyeong of land can be secured. If I enter the Gwangsan District Office, I will find a consensus on this issue as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, Yoon promised seven core pledges to create a "Happy Gwangsan": ▲ Promotion of a premium education and cultural special zone (education internationalization special zone) ▲ Creation of Gwangsan-type digital jobs through the Gwangsan Tomorrow Academy ▲ Development of an experiential cultural market ▲ Establishment of Bitgoeul Yeongsan River National Garden ▲ Fair regional development ▲ Introduction of a youth hope allowance to prepare for technological unemployment ▲ Expansion of public care services.
