This event was an interactive festival designed for children to run and play freely and enjoy various experiences. The venue was filled with laughter and energy as families continued to visit and participate.

Candidate Kim joined children in the play programs and took time to listen to the voices of parents. He particularly emphasized the importance of creating environments where children can play safely and happily, stating, "The laughter of children is the competitiveness of the city."

At the event, Kim pointed out, "The reality is that there are not enough spaces where children can fully enjoy themselves," and stressed, "I will make every effort to implement policies that organically connect play, care, and education to make Uijeongbu a city ideal for raising children."

He further stated, "We will expand child-centered playgrounds and experiential spaces in the community and strengthen the public care system to ease the burden on parents," adding, "We will create Uijeongbu as a city where both children and parents are happy, and where the next generation can grow."

Meanwhile, candidate Kim has pledged child- and family-centered policies, including attracting theme park-style play facilities, establishing a comprehensive care system, and expanding experiential education and play infrastructure.

Taking this Children's Day event as an opportunity, candidate Kim plans to continue communicating directly with citizens on site and to pursue policy initiatives to make Uijeongbu a city where children can be happy.
