Candidate Jung Myunggeun announced that, for the first time in the nation, Hwaseong City will introduce a tailored, dedicated AI administrative assistant called 'CoriBot,' which will provide civil service support 24 hours a day, significantly improve the efficiency of public officials' work, and greatly reduce citizens' waiting times. CoriBot will be responsible for automating administrative procedures such as civil complaint responses, document drafting, and provision of policy information.


The proposed establishment of the 'Hwaseong Companion Organization' (tentative name), which emphasizes Hwaseong-style citizen cooperation, will bring together citizens, companies, experts, and public officials in a collaborative governance body. It will serve as a platform for public discussion and deliberative democracy on major city affairs, operating as a public-private partnership. This initiative is expected to realize grassroots democracy connected to neighborhood-level self-governance and foster citizen trust in administration.


The ongoing issuance of Hope Hwaseong regional currency totaling 1 trillion won aims to increase sales for small businesses and establish a local circular economy. The purchase limit will be raised to a maximum of 1 million won, and a 10% incentive will be maintained to maximize practical benefits for citizens.


The plan also includes expanding the number of affiliated merchants and enhancing the convenience of using the mobile app, as well as promoting local economic revitalization through campaigns that encourage the use of regional currency in connection with Hwaseong City festivals and events.


Candidate Jung Myunggeun also pledged to expand metropolitan, city, and express buses, as well as increase airport bus routes. By introducing new metropolitan and express commuter bus routes to major hub cities in the Seoul metropolitan area, the plan aims to reduce transportation costs and improve convenience. In Dongtan 2 New Town, a pilot program for late-night autonomous buses will be launched, with plans for gradual expansion. The introduction of new airport bus routes will also be actively considered by analyzing demand for specific routes.



In addition, candidate Jung Myunggeun stated that a feasibility study will be launched to establish a circular railway line that will allow travel across all areas of Hwaseong City within 30 minutes. He added that he will work to ensure the inclusion of the circular railway network, which will connect key hubs such as Dongtan, Byeongjeom, Bongdam, Namyang, and Hyangnam, in the '5th National Railway Network Construction Plan.'
