On May 16, executives and club members of the Namyangju City Table Tennis Association and Tennis Association declared their official support for candidate Joo Kwangdeok.

This declaration of support was made possible as sports figures, deeply moved by Joo’s actions that established him as a so-called "candidate called forth by the citizens"—following the strong urging of many citizens gathered at Namyangju City Hall Square on May 13 for Joo to register his candidacy—voluntarily united behind him.

On that day, association representatives stated in the declaration of support, "The only suitable person who truly listens to the inconveniences citizens experience at public sports facilities and can make groundbreaking improvements is Joo Kwangdeok. We hope you will become a strong pillar for a healthy future in Namyangju."

In response, Joo Kwangdeok said, "The sweat shed by citizens in their daily lives is the driving force that creates a healthy Namyangju. As sports are the most reliable form of welfare to protect citizens’ health and happiness, I will dramatically improve and expand the city’s sports infrastructure."

Meanwhile, on May 16, Joo Kwangdeok announced his "Runnable Namyangju" pledge, which includes the development of the international-standard "Dasan Heritage Running Course," the establishment of regional running stations, and the regularization of five major running festivals (such as the Onam Lake Night Run and Gwangneung Forest Trail Run), as he continues to unveil policies to expand sports infrastructure on a daily basis.
