At this meeting, Representative Kim said, "The citizens of Mokpo have wished and worked for the attraction of Mokpo Medical School for the past 34 years. Without such dedication, the current discussion on establishing a medical school in the Jeonnam region would not have existed," and strongly criticized Jeollanam-do, saying, "The provincial government's push for the medical school contest is unreasonable and unacceptable."

He continued, "It is appropriate for Jeollanam-do to withdraw the contest for the new medical school and make a decisive move to promote Mokpo Medical School," and explained, "The Ministry of Education has already concluded through a feasibility study that establishing Mokpo Medical School is justified."

He added, "The purpose of establishing a medical school in Jeonnam is to expand essential medical personnel in medically underserved areas such as island regions," and emphasized, "The dedication of the citizens of Mokpo, who have been campaigning for the attraction of Mokpo Medical School for 34 years, must be evaluated and rewarded."

Representative Kim stated, "My term as a re-elected member of the National Assembly began on the 11th, the day after the general election," and expressed his determination, saying, "I will do my utmost in the 22nd National Assembly to resolve long-standing issues such as attracting Mokpo Medical School."

After the meeting at Mokpo National University, Representative Kim continued his first day’s schedule after the election by visiting Mokpo Memorial Park with Democratic Party city and provincial council members to pay respects. Afterwards, he toured the entire Mokpo City by campaign vehicle to express his gratitude to local voters.
