On this day, Mayor Hong stated on Facebook, "It is regrettable that the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council became a venue for criticizing the Daegu mayor today," and added, "Since it is difficult to obtain the consent of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council during the promotion process, turning the Daegu-Gyeongbuk administrative integration into a long-term project and focusing solely on Daegu Innovation 100 seems to be the way to resolve the conflict between Daegu and Gyeongbuk."

Mayor Hong continued, "I sincerely apologize to the citizens of Daegu and Gyeongbuk who supported the integration," and added, "It is truly regrettable that the local administration reform, which has been ongoing for three years, has been scrapped due to differing opinions."
