The Seo-gu Council of Gwangju Metropolitan City (Chairman Jeon Seung-il) issued a statement on the 25th, led by Planning and General Affairs Committee Chairman Councilor Kim Kyun-ho, urging, "The Yoon Seok-yeol administration should shift its North-South confrontation policy to a peace policy!"

All 13 members of the Seo-gu Council called on the Yoon Seok-yeol administration to halt the crisis-driven North-South confrontation policy for the peace of the Korean Peninsula and to transition to a peace policy toward North Korea. They further stated that, together with Seo-gu residents who aspire to democracy, human rights, and peace, they will strive to overcome the risk of military conflict and realize peace on the Korean Peninsula.

Councilor Kim, who led the statement, emphasized, "The inter-Korean relations, which had been escalating tensions due to objects like balloon propaganda, are now at risk of military conflict due to the unmanned aerial vehicle incident. Further clashes must stop, as any escalation endangers the Korean Peninsula. The government must declare an end to hostile policies, propose high-level talks with North Korea, and take the lead in establishing a peace agreement involving South Korea, North Korea, the United States, and China for the peace of the Korean Peninsula."
