The kickoff rally was originally scheduled for 9:30 a.m. but was postponed to 5 p.m. due to rain. Nevertheless, over 1,000 citizens who wished for Choi Hyunduk's victory filled the site, demonstrating the intense enthusiasm for a major transformation in Namyangju.

Choo Mi-ae, the Gyeonggi Province governor candidate, arrived at the site at around 6:30 p.m. and continued campaigning together with Choi Hyunduk. All city and provincial council candidates running in Namyangju attended, displaying unity as a 'one team.' In addition, local National Assembly members Choi Minhee and Kim Byungjoo, as well as Kim Youngjin (Suwon), Min Byungdeok (Anyang), and Park Sanghyuk (Gimpo) attended the event. Assemblyman Kim Yongmin was unable to attend due to a conflicting campaign schedule in another region but conveyed his congratulations and apologies to Choi Hyunduk for missing the kickoff rally.

Furthermore, the candidates who had engaged in fair competition during the party’s primary took the stage in person to deliver speeches supporting Choi Hyunduk, further boosting the momentum for victory.

Taking the microphone, Choi Hyunduk began his speech by declaring, "Now is truly the time for change," introducing himself as "the administrator coveted by President Lee Jaemyung—Choi Hyunduk has arrived." He emphasized, "In the past, Namyangju was full of talk but saw little real change. With 25 years of administrative experience and a proven track record in making Pangyo a success, I will bring a dramatic transformation to Namyangju."

Choi went on to say, "We cannot entrust the future of Namyangju to those who remain silent in the face of an insurrection," urging the People Power Party to reflect on the 12·3 Insurrection and expressing his determination to restore the value of democracy.

Choi Hyunduk announced his '10 Key Commitments for Namyangju’s Grand Transformation,' which include: ▲expanding a rapid transportation network, ▲completing a self-sustaining economic city, and ▲establishing a citizen safety and health system. In particular, for the Pyeongnae and Hopyeong areas, he pledged ▲early groundbreaking for the Gyeonggi Provincial Public Medical Center, ▲swift progress on Pyeongnae District 4, ▲construction of new transfer centers and station entrances at Pyeongnae-Hopyeong Station, and ▲promotion of the Homancheon Media Art Light Festival, presenting community-focused pledges.

Choi Hyunduk appealed to voters, stating, "I will not be a mayor who rules from his seat, but a truly 'useful mayor' who works as your hands and feet and sweats with you," adding, "On June 3, together with all of you, I will surely complete Namyangju’s transformation."

After the kickoff rally, Choi Hyunduk and the participants continued their campaign activities around Pyeongnae-Hopyeong Station, taking time to communicate directly with citizens.
