At a press conference held at 10:30 a.m. on the 31st in the city hall briefing room, the council members stated, “The political offensive pressuring the mayor to resign is a despicable act that abandons even the minimum basic duty toward a patient who may be in a life-threatening situation, and we cannot help but deplore it.”

They continued, “Although it is a humane duty to first check the safety of Mayor Hong’s health before engaging in political attacks, focusing solely on his resignation is a ‘political offensive neglecting people’s livelihood’ that does not help the stable development of Changwon City at all.”

In particular, during his one-year tenure, Mayor Hong worked tirelessly day and night to resolve long-standing unresolved issues such as the Masan Marine New City Project, Jinhae Ungdong Development Project, and the Changwon National Industrial Complex Revitalization Project. He also made great efforts to create future growth engines for Changwon City, including attracting Changwon National Industrial Complex 2.0, accelerating the restoration of the nuclear industry, and establishing a medical bio advanced equipment research and manufacturing center. It was said that he collapsed due to the increased workload during these efforts.

People Power Party Changwon City Council members urged the Democratic Party city council members, saying, “From now on, we hope you fulfill your humane duty so that Mayor Hong can quickly recover his health and operate the Changwon city administration without any setbacks. You should actively participate in improving the welfare of the 1.03 million citizens of Changwon by taking a proactive stance in solving current issues in Changwon City.”
