The mayor announced a New Year's address containing five visions, three promises, and three keywords to welcome the new year. Ilnyeomtongam (一念通巖) means piercing through a rock with a single-minded heart, signifying that by concentrating one’s spirit, even the most difficult tasks can yield astonishing results.

To this end, the district presented five visions: ‘Seocho Munjeonseongsi’ prioritizing the stability of small business owners and self-employed individuals, ‘Refreshing Administration’ focusing on resolving long-standing issues, ‘Healing Administration’ actively reflecting residents’ demands, ‘Policy Leader City Seocho’ proactively responding to current and future policy needs, and ‘Predictable Smart City Seocho’ utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Additionally, to realize the dream of ‘Seocho, happy today and looking forward to tomorrow,’ three promises were emphasized: preparing Seocho’s century-long growth engines such as the ‘Yangjae AI Future Convergence Innovation Special Zone’ and the ‘Goter·Sebit Tourism Special Zone,’ securing global urban competitiveness through hubs like the ‘Asia-Pacific Judicial Justice Hub,’ and innovating urban spaces to establish Seocho as a future city.

In particular, Mayor Jeon expressed his New Year’s determination by stating, “This year, I will put weight on the three keywords of the 8th local government: ‘Listening,’ ‘Response,’ and ‘Responsibility,’ and repay with achievements,” adding, “I will be a mayor who helps and empowers the residents in their daily lives.”
