Immediately after registering, Kim stated, "This election is a critical turning point that will determine whether Uijeongbu remains stagnant or leaps into the future. Having prepared for the past four years with determination, I am now ready to vigorously open the path for Uijeongbu’s great transformation together with our citizens."

He continued, "Meaningful changes that impact citizens’ lives ultimately come from budget, policy, and execution. I will become a ‘strong mayor’ who links the central government and Gyeonggi Province and will resolve Uijeongbu’s longstanding issues without fail."

Kim has put forward the vision of a ‘strong mayor’ as the centerpiece of his campaign for this election. Based on recent policy cooperation with Gyeonggi Province governor candidate Choo Mi-ae, Kim plans to focus all efforts on expanding the metropolitan transportation network, including the early construction of GTX-C and the extension of Subway Line 8 and SRT to Uijeongbu.

In addition, with his candidate registration, Kim plans to sequentially announce his "Seven Key Pledges" for Uijeongbu’s future development, aiming to lead a policy-centered campaign.

The major pledges include: ▲a city where advanced industries thrive ▲a city with fast and convenient transportation ▲a city that cares for citizens’ lives ▲the top education hub in northern Gyeonggi ▲an energy self-sufficient city ▲a city people want to visit ▲and a safe city—each designed as practical, citizen-focused policies.

Riding a recent upward trend in various opinion polls, Kim remarked, "Polls are just part of the process; real change is achieved by every single vote cast by our citizens. I will approach each and every citizen with humility and sincerity, listening carefully to every voice."

He added, "Today’s candidate registration is not the end, but a new beginning. I will compete solely on policy, qualifications, and proven capability, and will earn the citizens’ trust with the evaluation, ‘As expected, Kim Won-ki.’"

Meanwhile, with his candidate registration, Kim has officially begun his campaign schedule, including efforts to communicate with citizens, and plans to consolidate the organizational strength and policy capabilities of the ‘One Team Democratic Party.’
