The event was held in the format of a book concert. It began with a book signing by the author, followed by a book introduction video, introductions of the author and his family, congratulatory remarks from key figures, and celebratory performances.

Chairman Cho stated, "I always hang the phrase 'Why am I here?' beside me and constantly ask myself this question every day, reflecting deeply on its meaning."

He continued, "To find out what Yuseong, my hometown, needs for growth and what actions should be taken, I have spent a long time refining my thoughts by listening to the voices of residents in the field and seeking input from experts. The results of this long deliberation are captured in this book."

Chairman Cho further emphasized, "I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to becoming a 'good person' who serves as a foundation for Yuseong's growth. I hope all of you will join me in shaping the future of Yuseong, offering your interest and valuable advice along the way."
