In a statement released on the same day, Lee said, "Today, I stand here with a deep sense of responsibility and a burning sense of mission," expressing his ambition to "transform Jeonnam and Gwangju into the 'Boston of Asia' through a major leap forward in education."

Lee emphasized, "During my previous term, I laid the foundation for 'Gwangju education where not a single child is left behind,'" and added, "Now, based on those achievements, Gwangju and Jeonnam will unite to pave the way for a 'major leap in education' that will shape the future of education in Korea."

He also stated, "Our education system is currently facing the challenges of regional extinction and a rapidly changing digital era," pledging to "establish 'basic education' as the unwavering root of public education, and to foster 'diverse competencies' that allow each child's unique characteristics to shine."

He continued, "We will create classrooms where foundational subjects such as mathematics and reading are learned with joy, and support our children so they can confidently compete on the global stage through AI-based future education." He added, "We will realize Jeonnam-Gwangju education that is built on respect rather than conflict, and where essential competencies become the core."

Additionally, he concluded, "Beyond simply being a superintendent, I will run solely with the future of our children in mind, as the right person for integrated education who can lead the mutual prosperity of Jeonnam and Gwangju. Please support Jeonnam-Gwangju and me, Jeongseon Lee, to become the Boston of Asia."

Meanwhile, after completing his candidacy registration on the same day, Lee visited the National May 18 Democratic Cemetery to pay his respects.
