At 9:30 a.m. on the same day, Son visited the Paju City Election Commission and submitted his nomination documents for the 9th nationwide simultaneous local elections for the position of Paju mayor.


On the first day of candidate registration, Son conducted the registration process calmly and with composure, demonstrating stable leadership. On-site, he was also evaluated as a prepared candidate capable of mediating conflicts and proposing reasonable alternatives.


Immediately after registering, Son stated, "I will be the candidate who listens to the voices of the citizens first," adding, "I will prioritize the real sentiments of the people on the ground in my policies and seek answers together with the citizens."


For this election, Son presented the leadership philosophy of 'Yuneungjegang' (柔能制剛—softness overcomes hardness) as his core campaign message. He plans to engage humbly with citizens while demonstrating unwavering drive to deliver results on key issues for Paju's development.


Regarding his reputation for being prudent, Son stated, "For a candidate who steps forward to take responsibility for citizens' lives, prudence is another name for responsibility," and emphasized, "Attentive listening and careful consideration are not signs of hesitation, but rather a process to fully reflect the citizens' intentions."


He added, "Policies that truly reflect the citizens' will become the strongest driving force that remains steadfast throughout implementation."


Son is scheduled to hold his campaign office opening ceremony at 5 p.m. on the 16th at Suite 902, MH Tower, near Geumchon Station, where he will meet citizens directly.


Son's campaign stated, "This opening ceremony will be an opportunity for the 'candidate who listens' to hear citizens' voices on-site and communicate directly," and requested, "Considering potential congestion near the venue, we kindly ask attendees to use public transportation."



Son concluded, "The various issues facing Paju cannot be solved through one-sided proclamations, but require sincere communication and meticulous coordination," adding, "I will win the hearts of citizens through gentle listening and bring about meaningful change in Paju with steadfast determination."
