On May 15, Lee Sang-il’s campaign announced through a press release, “Ahn Cheol-soo, a four-term senior lawmaker with high public recognition, has accepted the position of honorary campaign committee chairman and joined the campaign.”

During a phone call with Lee that same day, Assemblyman Ahn said, “I am well aware of all the great work you have done over the past four years as mayor of Yongin, including attracting the national semiconductor industrial complex and advancing the city for the happiness of its citizens. I am confident that these achievements will be recognized by the people and will lead to a positive outcome.”

Assemblyman Ahn further emphasized, “I will do my best to support you so that Yongin will have its first-ever two-term mayor. I also plan to visit Yongin in person to join the campaign trail.”

In response, candidate Lee Sang-il said, “It is a tremendous honor and feels like gaining a thousand reinforcements to have Assemblyman Ahn, who is beloved by many, take on the role of honorary campaign committee chairman. While my opponent relies on power, I will trust only the citizens, work tirelessly on the ground, and repay them with victory.”

Lee went on to say, “I am making every effort to meet more citizens, listen to a wider range of voices, and address the issues causing inconvenience for them. I often hear on the campaign trail that for Yongin to develop further, it must elect its first two-term mayor. I am determined to become that two-term mayor and steadfastly protect and expand Yongin’s semiconductor projects, which the ruling party is trying to disrupt.”

Ahn Cheol-soo is a four-term senior lawmaker who has served in the 19th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd National Assembly, and is regarded as a politician with broad trust and high recognition both locally and in the political sphere. With his appointment as honorary campaign committee chairman, Lee Sang-il’s campaign plans to further accelerate its focus on regional development and policies that improve citizens’ livelihoods.
