At the weekly work meeting he presided over on October 13, Mayor Lee stated, "For applicants who apply for the marriage incentive between mid-September and November, we will allocate an additional budget and provide the payment within this year. For those who apply in December, the payment will be made in 2026."

The policy's effectiveness is becoming evident, with many practical cases such as savings and purchasing home appliances."

Additionally, he called for the establishment of an integrated process management system for the construction of Urban Railway Line 2 to minimize inconvenience for citizens.

Mayor Lee instructed, "We will manage the entire process in an integrated manner to reduce inconvenience for citizens and ensure the line opens without any errors." He added, "If necessary, we will also bring in consulting from external professional organizations."
