He presented the Outstanding Council Member Award to 28 Seoul City Council members who contributed to regional development through exemplary legislative activities.

The Outstanding Council Member Award, established by the National Association of Metropolitan and Provincial Council Chairs, aims to discover and encourage local council members who have demonstrated proactive and active legislative activities throughout the year. The award recognizes those who have monitored and checked municipal affairs, proposed policy alternatives, and promoted interregional cooperation under the motto of "citizen happiness."

For the 13th Outstanding Council Member Award, a total of 206 council members nationwide were honored, selected based on recommendations from each metropolitan and provincial council for their contributions to the stability and development of their communities.

The Seoul Metropolitan Council's awardees included Kang Seokju, Gyeong Gimum, Kim Kilyoung, Kim Jonggil, Kim Hyeji, Namgoong Yeok, Do Munyeol, Park Sanghyuk, Park Seok, Seo Sangyeol, Ok Jaeun, Yoon Jongbok, Lee Minseok, Lee Seungbok, Lee Jongtae, Lee Heewon, Jang Taeyong, Choi Jinhyuk, and Hwang Yujeong (all from the People Power Party), as well as Kang Donggil, Park Kangsan, Seo Junoh, Lee Sanghoon, Lee Wonhyeong, Lim Gyuhho, Lim Jongguk, Jeong Junho, and Han Shin (all from the Democratic Party of Korea), making a total of 28 recipients.

The award-winning council members stated, "Rather than seeing this as an evaluation of our past legislative activities, we believe this award is an encouragement and support for us to work even harder for the livelihoods of citizens and to dedicate ourselves to legislative work as we mark one year since the opening of the 11th Council."

President Kim Hyunki said, "I offer my heartfelt congratulations and encouragement to the 28 council members who received the 13th Outstanding Council Member Award, and I sincerely applaud all Seoul City Council members who are demonstrating the true value of local councils through their passionate and exemplary legislative activities." He added, "I ask that you continue to work with an unwavering spirit of self-improvement to further strengthen your capabilities and expertise for the realization of true local autonomy."
