Susanhang is a key location that the Kim Jin-tae administration envisioned as a global luxury tourist city like Nice in France, aiming to develop it as a tourism hub connecting mountains and sea in combination with the Osaek cable car project.

The main topic at the discussion that day was the sharp rise in oil prices caused by the Middle East war. With mounting concerns over the worsening management of fishing operations, one participant lamented, "These days, fuel prices have risen so much that there is nothing left even after going out to sea," adding, "The situation is extremely serious."

In response, candidate Kim said, "I'm not just hearing about these issues, but actually spending the night at the village hall to experience the situation firsthand." He empathized, stating, "After seeing the site in person, it is clear that the most urgent issue is reducing the burden of expenses."

He went on to reaffirm his commitment, saying, "Building on the success of the 'Half-Price Agricultural Material Support Program,' which Gangwon Province was the first among all metropolitan governments nationwide to introduce and received great response, I will strongly push for a similar 'Half-Price Fishing Material Support' initiative in the fisheries sector."
