The event, held on May 19, was attended by more than 300 people, including candidate Choi Hyunduk, disabled citizens, and related personnel. After completing environmental cleanup activities along the Bukhangang riverside, participants spent an energetic day inspecting and experiencing water sports facilities.

After experiencing water sports together with disabled citizens at the site, Choi Hyunduk remarked, "Today's event is a very meaningful opportunity to share the joy of enjoying nature with disabled people. By participating myself, I was reminded of how important it is to expand opportunities for disabled people to engage in leisure and cultural activities, and to establish a system that provides continuous support for related education and infrastructure."

Choi Hyunduk further emphasized his concrete pledges for realizing welfare for disabled people in Namyangju. His core policies include support for respite care for families of people with developmental disabilities and the establishment of a public care system; creating a Disabled Citizens Participation Committee; and expanding sheltered workshops for disabled people to increase employment opportunities.

In particular, Choi Hyunduk stressed, "The lives of disabled people should be approached not from a charitable welfare perspective, but as a matter of universal rights. I promise to significantly expand dedicated facilities and programs so that disabled people can enjoy and learn from diverse cultures in a larger world, including water sports experiences like today."

Finally, Choi Hyunduk emphasized, "I will incorporate the vivid voices of those I meet on site into my policies. I am determined to create a discrimination-free Namyangju where disabled and non-disabled people can work and enjoy life together."

Meanwhile, leveraging his experience as a practical administrative expert, Choi Hyunduk continues to announce field-oriented election pledges focused on citizen welfare closely connected to daily life, as well as the future industrial transformation of Namyangju.
