He added, "Although I feel some regret, I did my best over the past two years and four months at the center to create a warm village community based on the cooperation and self-help of community members." He continued, "Earlier this month, I had an in-depth conversation in a one-on-one meeting with Governor Shin Ucheol. I am grateful to Governor Shin Ucheol and the residents for allowing me to complete my term safely."

He went on to emphasize, "With 35 years of public service and two years and four months at the center, I will challenge myself to a greater path of service to give back to the residents for the grace I have received," and, "I will meet with local residents with greater humility and communicate deeply."
