To this end, he promised to establish the "Changnyeong Agricultural Specialty Products Research Institute," which will be an expanded and reorganized version of the existing Onion Research Institute, to support the connection of research results on high-quality local agricultural products and bio-foods to high value-added food industries.


He also pledged to establish the "Changnyeong Agricultural Products Distribution Corporation" to secure a nationwide distribution network by collaborating with the largest-scale Coupang logistics center in Dalseong County and dawn delivery companies, thereby contributing to increasing farm income.


Han promised to secure national funding to create a "Rural Convergence Industry Cluster." By building a bio-food industry system based on local specialties such as garlic, onions, paprika, and sweet persimmons grown in towns and townships, he aims not only to improve farm income but also to revitalize the local economy through job creation.


In addition, he emphasized that policies such as "leading 3rd generation smart farm ICT agriculture," "expanding the overseas foreign seasonal worker platform," and "establishing a farm machinery rental office in the northern region" will be promoted so that all farms can earn incomes in the hundred million won range.


He added, "I will not let agricultural policies be one-time efforts but will condense key areas weekly to announce pledges and policies, turning this election into a policy-focused election."



Han highlighted that this is a by-election held due to the vacancy of the previous mayor and stated, "I will take the lead in creating a clean and fair policy election without slanderous campaigns and money politics."
