Byun Seung-il, the president of the association, said, “Today’s event is an opportunity to encourage the Lee-Tongjangs who passionately fulfill their duties in eup, myeon, and dong areas and to foster greater unity among them. The Lee-Tongjangs will do their best with a sense of mission to take the lead in vigorously opening a new era of hope for Gumi.”

Mayor Kim Jang-ho said, “In the era of local autonomy, Lee-Tongjangs are the practical representatives of the region, and your active cooperation, closely connected with local residents, is the foundation of city administration development. As the driving force of Gumi and leaders of the community, I ask you to fulfill your responsibilities and roles by looking after residents’ lives, resolving local conflicts, and ensuring that the city’s issues are well communicated to citizens.”
