With well-prepared policies and strong execution, I will make Gimcheon a city where citizens can truly feel the changes."


He continued, "With the determination to 'listen more, work harder, and act more decisively for a brighter future for Gimcheon,' I will become a mayor who listens widely to citizens' voices and finds solutions on the ground. Together with the citizens, I will build a safer and more livable Gimcheon—a city where future generations will want to stay."
