On the afternoon of May 20, at his Hwajeong-dong campaign office, candidate Donghwan Lee received a courtesy visit and a statement of support from Ki-Soo Kim, Secretary General of the National Elders Council of the Republic of Korea (hereafter referred to as the Elders Council), and Byung-Doo Jung, Secretary.

In its statement, the Elders Council emphasized, "Goyang is a pivotal city in the northwestern part of the Seoul metropolitan area with limitless potential," and, "Maximizing the city's competitiveness requires a leader who possesses both proven administrative capabilities and the ability to implement effective policies."

The Council further assessed, "Donghwan Lee is a candidate who has both a vision for urban development and concrete strategies for realizing it. He is the right person to address Goyang's key issues, such as establishing a self-sufficient city foundation, attracting businesses, and expanding metropolitan transportation networks."

Also present at the event, Junyong Lee, President of the Bareun Jeongchi Mirae Union, expressed support by stating, "It is imperative to safeguard the values of the free market economy in Korea and to enhance the competitiveness of the regional economy through strong leadership," adding, "Donghwan Lee is the optimal candidate to drive Goyang’s future growth momentum based on stable municipal governance."

In response to support from various sectors, candidate Donghwan Lee stated, "I sincerely thank the elders and civil society representatives who have come together for the advancement of Goyang and the happiness of its citizens," adding, "I will realize citizen-centered administration based on the values of the free market economy."

He further expressed his aspirations by stating, "I believe this support represents a responsible choice for the sustainable development of Goyang and for future generations," and, "I will complete the creation of an 'AI Economic Special City' where advanced industries, culture, and transportation are organically integrated, and deliver tangible results that citizens can truly experience."

Local political circles analyze that this public endorsement is likely to have a significant impact on consolidating support among centrist and middle-aged voters.

In particular, attention is focused on how the conservative elder community’s emphasis on 'policy continuity' and 'stable municipal governance' will influence the future election landscape and voting trends.
