Immediately after registering, Joo expressed his strong determination, stating, "I will honor the mandate of the citizens and complete the development of a future-oriented, self-sustaining city together with the citizens." He especially emphasized that, setting aside his recent calls for reform within the party leadership, he decided to run in response to the earnest requests of citizens gathered at City Hall Square.


Joo is credited with having laid concrete foundations for Namyangju to advance into the top future-oriented, self-sustaining city during his 8th term as mayor. His key achievements include: attracting a super-large tertiary general hospital with 1,000 beds; securing the establishment of an innovative public medical center with 400 beds; bringing in corporate investments totaling about 3.3 trillion won from companies such as Kakao; and initiating the '10 Rail Era' including the GTX-B line.



Joo characterized his candidacy as "a response to the call of the citizens." He promised, "Citizens are at the beginning and the end of politics. As the true citizens' candidate, I will take responsibility and create a city that turns the dreams of all 740,000 Namyangju residents into reality."


He further pledged, "My commitment to change and unity within the party will be proven through an overwhelming victory in the election. I will build Namyangju into something beyond imagination and write a new chapter as a mega city of one million residents."



Meanwhile, Joo plans to continue his citizen-focused campaign by directly addressing local livelihood issues, such as entering into policy agreements to improve the transportation environment in Byeollae-dong.
