About 200 people, including Ji Ju-yeon, Director of the Women's and Family Bureau of Gyeonggi Province, and Im Byung-taek, Mayor of Siheung, attended the opening ceremony.

Ji Ju-yeon, Director of the Women's and Family Bureau, stated, "I hope Kkummaru becomes a place that not only creates jobs for local women but also provides an environment and services where women's potential can lead to creative activities."
