He continued, "With issues such as North Korean leaflets, trash balloons, and North Korea's deployment of troops to Russia, tensions are rising, causing increasing anxiety in Gyeonggi Province, which borders North Korea," and added, "I believe this is a time when we must pay great attention to peace, the safety of our residents, the safety of South Korea, peace among compatriots, and world peace," urging cooperation from religious leaders.

In response, President Oh Beom-yeol said, "Despite the turmoil, Governor Kim Dong-yeon is loved by many people for his dedication to provincial administration," and expressed gratitude, "Thank you for arranging this luncheon meeting despite your busy schedule."
