Gang identified the establishment of a medical school in Changwon as his top priority pledge to build a regionally integrated medical system.

He said, “Many citizens have to go to Seoul when they suffer from severe or rare diseases,” adding, “It is urgent to create a medical system where high-quality medical services are provided locally, and I believe the first task is to establish a medical school in Changwon to build such a system.”

He continued, “The government plans to increase medical school quotas, which will be first allocated for the 2025 academic year, but among the 2,000 additional seats, some will remain unaccommodated,” and said, “Discussions on how to establish the new school will begin in early May, and if I succeed in winning a third term, I will negotiate directly with the president and devote all my efforts to establishing a medical school in Changwon, the leading city of Gyeongnam.”

Gang said, “Over the past four years, I have traveled the equivalent of four times around the earth between Changwon and Seoul, but it was a happy journey because it was for my hometown,” and promised, “For the uninterrupted development and vitality of Changwon Seongsan, I vow to work vigorously for a greater Seongsan and a better Changwon with an unyielding spirit of perseverance, even if I am bent a hundred times.”
