Through their declaration of support on this day, the professors stated, "We believe that candidate Kim Wonki's capabilities and vision are essential for shaping a new future for Uijeongbu.

The professors also addressed recent controversy surrounding Kim's academic papers, stating, "This issue has already undergone sufficient verification and fact-checking, and it has been confirmed that there is no problem. It is now time to compete with policies and visions for the future."

Kim Wonki, the pre-candidate, expressed his gratitude, saying, "I am deeply grateful for this overwhelming support and encouragement. I believe this support is not just for me personally, Kim Wonki, but reflects the citizens' strong desire to see real change in Uijeongbu."

Kim further stated, "All the various controversies previously raised have already been objectively verified and resolved. Now is the time to move beyond fruitless conflicts and focus on policy competition to shape the future of Uijeongbu and improve the lives of our citizens."

He also emphasized, "Uijeongbu now stands at a critical crossroads, facing a financial crisis, local economic stagnation, stalled development of returned military sites, and delays in transportation innovation. Together with the citizens, I will transform Uijeongbu from a city of consumption to a city of production and growth, and make it the central city of northern Gyeonggi."

In conclusion, Kim said, "I will actively reflect the policy proposals and professional opinions of the professors who supported me in city administration, realizing practical governance that citizens can truly feel. I will become a mayor who achieves results through communication, attentive listening, and action."
