During the 3rd plenary session of the 307th extraordinary meeting, Councilor Oh explained regarding the promotion of the 'public dementia facility' construction project, "According to the transition committee of Seo-gu Mayor Kim Yi-gang of the 8th civilian administration, the construction project of the public dementia facility was reported as the number one core policy of the aging society policy department, and there was a unanimous opinion from the transition committee hoping that it would be promoted as a specialized model unique to Seo-gu, Gwangju."

He continued, "Despite four years of project promotion, the public dementia facility, which will be the first and only institution in Gwangju capable of ensuring stable operation of dementia specialists and publicness, is at risk of being abruptly halted."
