The appointment ceremony proceeded in the following order: a progress report on the committee, presentation of appointment letters, an explanation and Q&A session on the gender-equal space creation project, and a commemorative photo session.

The term of the consultative committee members runs from October 24, 2025, until the completion of the gender-equal space creation project. During this period, they will play a crucial role until the project is finalized.

The committee members will participate in the design and development process of the facilities, offering a variety of opinions to ensure the creation of spaces that citizens can truly use and experience. They will be responsible for providing concrete guidance on the design and layout of the space, as well as on the arrangement of various facilities, to ensure that convenience and safety for citizens are harmoniously achieved.

Paju City Mayor Kim Kyoungil stated, "The creation of this gender-equal space aims to transform the area into an inclusive city where everyone can enjoy freedom and equality." He added, "I hope this project will serve as a meaningful milestone, not only by improving the physical environment but also by establishing Paju as a truly 'gender-equal' city where socially disadvantaged groups are respected."
