On May 12, Lee stated, "I will develop the Segyo Terminal site not merely as a transportation facility, but as a center for future growth industries," adding, "By creating a specialized mini-complex that combines the esports and AI industries, I will establish a new growth engine for Osan."

The Segyo Terminal site had remained undeveloped for over 10 years, but with the Osan City administration under the 8th popularly elected mayor purchasing and acquiring the site from LH, full-scale development has now become possible.

Lee’s initial plan is to resume the long-awaited construction of the terminal, a key demand of local residents, and to pursue the establishment of a multi-purpose center to attract foot traffic. Additionally, by building an exclusive esports stadium and an AI-based training center, he aims to foster the northern area as a new industrial hub.

According to the campaign pledge, a total budget of 1.3 billion won is expected to be invested in the project, with 800 million won allocated for the esports arena, 100 million won for tournament operations, and 400 million won for establishing the AI training center and related systems.

The AI training center will feature a data-based player analysis system, customized training programs, and a real-time match feedback system. The plan aims to systematically enhance athlete capabilities and, at the same time, offer career experience programs in conjunction with local high schools and universities, thereby laying the foundation for nurturing young talent in the area.
