He said near the Gimhae Passenger Terminal, "Part of my family's ancestral burial grounds are in Jinyeong, Gimhae, and I live with a heart for former President Roh Moo-hyun, who is from Gimhae."

He continued, "Since the Yoon Seok-yeol administration took office, various megacity plans, including the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam (Bu-Ul-Gyeong) megacity, have been canceled," and pointed out, "This is a surrender of local decentralization and balanced regional development."

He emphasized, "Incorporating Gimpo into Seoul means expanding the Seoul Republic, which is absolutely unacceptable," and added, "My goal upon entering the National Assembly is to re-promote various megacity strategies, including Bu-Ul-Gyeong."

Jo said, "On April 3rd, it will be one month since the party was founded," and expressed gratitude, saying, "I thank many citizens who have helped, applauded, and shaken hands with this novice politician, and I will do my best to meet their expectations."
