Attending the opening were key figures from the People Power Party, including former Minister of Employment and Labor Kim Moonsoo, lawmakers Ahn Cheolsoo (Bundang A) and Kim Eunhye (Bundang B), and Yang Hyangja, the party's Gyeonggi Province governor candidate.


Kim Moonsoo, former Minister of Employment and Labor, remarked in his congratulatory speech, "Shin Sangjin is someone I have known all my life, and he has always proven his ability through results, not just words. He is a verified candidate who will restore the pride of conservatives in Seongnam and defend the city without fail."


Assemblyman Ahn Cheolsoo said, "This Seongnam mayoral election is not just a local election. It is a crucial choice that will determine whether Seongnam continues to develop or comes to a halt," expressing strong support for Shin Sangjin. Assemblywoman Kim Eunhye added, "Shin Sangjin is someone who has fulfilled his promises to citizens through action. We must ensure his victory to maintain momentum in redevelopment and reconstruction and to keep Seongnam moving forward."

On the same day, Shin Sangjin appointed former Minister Kim Moonsoo as honorary chairperson of the election campaign committee and named lawmakers Kim Eunhye and Ahn Cheolsoo as co-chairs of the committee.


During the event, the Bundang Reconstruction Association presented a plaque of appreciation to Shin Sangjin, drawing attention. This recognized his efforts as the incumbent mayor in lifting restrictions on the volume of reconstruction projects in Bundang and pledging unprecedented financial support, which opened the way for redevelopment initiatives. This scene reaffirmed that accelerating redevelopment and reconstruction is central to this election.


Shin Sangjin declared, "I will not let Seongnam remain in the past. I will complete 'Hopeful Seongnam,' where our children can dream of the future," pledging to lead Seongnam's uninterrupted development with his proven abilities.



Looking ahead, Shin Sangjin outlined his "Four Major Policy Visions" as the core pillars of Seongnam's development: establishing a 10 trillion won fund for redevelopment and reconstruction; launching the "Lifetime Seed Money Project" for newborns through youth; completing a diamond-shaped industrial belt; and constructing the Seongnam circular railroad and ring road.
