Chairman Shim Cheol-ui stated, "Gwangju Transportation Corporation has served as a stepping stone for the development of urban transportation and the region by providing safe and convenient transportation services." He emphasized, "As we prepare for the upcoming era of Urban Railway Line 2, the corporation's role in realizing economical and eco-friendly public transportation is more important than ever." He added, "We will thoroughly verify the qualifications and capabilities of the candidates to ensure that someone with a strong sense of duty and responsibility, who can serve as a catalyst for Gwangju's development, is appointed."
