He stated, "The driving force of a city is always found on the ground, and Changwon stands on the sweat and hard work of those who protect the lives of citizens up close. By starting the first day of registration on-site, I reaffirmed my pledge to be closer to the citizens."


He continued, "By working alongside sanitation workers who strive from dawn to keep the city clean, I was reminded of where administration should focus first. I am determined to be a mayor who finds answers close to the daily lives of citizens, not just at a desk."



He also said, "The Changwon mayoral election is about choosing someone who will take responsibility for the lives of citizens. I will work like Lee Jaemyung and, together with the citizens, create a positive transformation for Changwon."
