On this day, Mr. Kim personally visited Suji-gu, Yongin City, to meet with candidate Lee. During the meeting, Mr. Kim highly praised Mr. Lee's achievements during his previous term as mayor and underscored the weight of his candidacy as the ruling party’s representative.

Mr. Kim stated, "Over the past four years, I highly appreciate the many changes and achievements that Mayor Lee has realized together with Yongin City officials. The citizens of Yongin are well aware of how Mayor Lee has laid the foundation for Yongin to become a global semiconductor hub and how hard he has worked to resolve numerous local challenges."

In response, candidate Sangil Lee said, "I sincerely thank the respected Prime Minister for personally coming to Yongin and offering warm encouragement and advice. While my opponent seems to rely on and leverage political power in their campaign, I, as you advised, will trust only the citizens and listen to as many of their voices as possible by meeting with more people."

Mr. Kim previously served as the chair of Mr. Lee’s supporters’ association during his time as a National Assembly member and has been a steadfast supporter, including delivering a congratulatory video message at Mr. Lee’s book publication event in February.
