On April 24, Kim visited the campaign offices of Seo Heung-won, candidate for Yanggu County Governor, Choi Myung-soo, candidate for Hwacheon County Governor, and Kim Gil-soo, candidate for Yeongwol County Governor, in succession, rallying momentum for victory. He also visited the site of the Danjong Cultural Festival in Yeongwol to reaffirm his region-specific tourism vision.

"Regulatory relief is a collaborative achievement with cities and counties... Communication is the driving force"

At the opening ceremony for Seo Heung-won’s campaign office in Yanggu that morning, Kim introduced his special connection to Yanggu. Beginning his remarks with, "The maternal grandson of Yanggu, Kim Jin-tae, has arrived," Kim recounted an incident from a previous town hall meeting where he was interrupted by the president while speaking.

Kim said, "At that time, the very issue I wanted to address was the entry restriction to Duta-yeon inside the Civilian Control Line," and added, "I continued to work persistently to lift the restriction that limited entry to only 400 people per day, and eventually succeeded in removing that regulation," highlighting his accomplishments for the development of the Yanggu area.

Next, at the opening of Choi Myung-soo’s campaign office in Hwacheon, Kim emphasized Choi’s expertise, noting that Choi had spent 31 out of his 32 years in public service at Hwacheon County Office. Finally, at Kim Gil-soo’s campaign office in Yeongwol, Kim stated, "The completion of Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province is not something the governor can achieve alone; it requires cities and counties working together," expressing his determination to win the election through the solidarity of a "strong one team."

Declaration of Yeongwol's future at the Danjong Cultural Festival..."The era of 100 million tourists, with Yeongwol at the center"

Later, Kim continued his cultural campaign by visiting the site of the Danjong Cultural Festival held at Donggang Riverside in Yeongwol. Personally congratulating the grand prize winner of the Queen Jeongsun selection contest, Kim recalled, "I still vividly remember receiving a plaque of appreciation at last year's Danjong Cultural Festival opening ceremony for my contribution to the successful passage of the Yeongwol-Samcheok Expressway preliminary feasibility study."

He went on to reaffirm his previous pledge, saying, "On the 13th, at the Seondol Observatory in Yeongwol, I promised to turn Gangwon Province into a 'roofless global studio.' I will push ahead with bold tourism policies that can connect 10 million moviegoers to 100 million tourists in Gangwon Province."
