According to an announcement from the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Wirye-Sinsa Line recently passed the swift preliminary feasibility study. This system is designed to streamline procedures and determine whether to proceed with projects deemed highly necessary and urgent from a policy perspective. This decision is being interpreted as official recognition of the public interest and policy necessity of the Wirye-Sinsa Line project.


Kang emphasized regarding this decision, "Passing the swift preliminary feasibility study is only the starting point for the entire Wirye-Sinsa Line project," and stated, "Residents of the Wirye area have endured severe transportation inconveniences for 17 years while waiting, so now it is time to restore trust in policy through speed and execution."


He continued, "Wirye New Town is already a large residential area, and substantial social costs have accumulated due to delays in transportation infrastructure," pointing out, "If the government and the Seoul Metropolitan Government once again delay under the pretext of procedures, they will face unavoidable controversy over administrative responsibility."


Choi Seungtae, a preliminary candidate for Hanam City Council from the Democratic Party of Korea, also stated, "The urban functions of Wirye are already at a completed stage, but only transportation remains stuck in the past," adding, "Passing the swift preliminary feasibility study is a welcome step forward, but if the construction start date does not become clear soon, residents' trust could actually weaken."



Kang further stated, "There has been ongoing advocacy and a role played in the National Assembly to transition the Wirye-Sinsa Line into a fiscal investment project and to ensure its selection and passage as a target of the swift preliminary feasibility study," adding, "Moving forward, I will continue to cooperate with Assemblywoman Choo Mi-ae to fully concentrate all capabilities on prompt follow-up procedures and the earliest possible groundbreaking."
