Previously, President Lee Jaemyung highlighted at a meeting with senior secretaries and aides at the Blue House that "the revitalization of rural areas is essential for the revival of local communities, and the survival of local communities is crucial for Korea's sustainable growth," stressing the importance of the Great Rural Transformation to improve the quality of life for farmers. Candidate Myung's recent statement is regarded as an immediate and enthusiastic endorsement of the President's national philosophy.


In particular, Candidate Myung unveiled the slogan "Life on ACE policies, AI civilization on Haenam," introducing his "ACE Vision," which he described as the three core pillars that will transform Haenam's future.


The ACE Vision he presented consists of: ▲A (AI Agriculture and Rural Transformation) - smart innovation through the integration of algorithms and advanced technology (AX); ▲C (Culture and Content) - revitalization by transforming local assets into content; and ▲E (Energy and New Business Ecosystem) - securing future growth engines that lead the response to the climate crisis and carbon neutrality.


Candidate Myung expressed his policy confidence, stating, "Haenam is no longer a remote, underdeveloped city, but is growing into the 'platform for Korea's next 100 years,' where people, technology, nature, and the future coexist."



He added, "A nation where rural areas become a source of hope, regions where young people return, and cities where advanced and life sciences industries coexist—these are the ultimate goals shared by the government and Haenam County. On the path of the Great Rural Transformation firmly opened by the President, I will boldly take on the challenge to ensure that all county residents can be the first to reap the fruits of success together."
