He also stated, "I will play a role in the great transformation of Gyeonggi education," and emphasized, "From now on, we must join forces beyond our individual areas." He further added, "Meaningful change is only possible when we bring together the experiences and capabilities of each and every person."

In response, An Minseok, the unified candidate for the Democratic and Progressive parties, said, "Candidate Seong Giseon is a well-prepared talent who encompasses both the educational field and policy," and added, "We will incorporate the pledges and personnel he has prepared to drive changes in Gyeonggi education."

Candidate Seong, who comes from an academic background, participated in designing education pledges for the Moon Jae-in administration and served as President of the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation, making him an expert in education policy. In 2022, he ran as the unified Democratic and Progressive candidate for Superintendent of Education in Gyeonggi Province and led policy debates, earning recognition for his policy competence from parents and the education community in Gyeonggi. This experience further highlights his significance as a policy partner for the great transformation of Gyeonggi education.
