On the morning of this day, candidate Jung will attend a cultural memorial event at Guui Station in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, marking the 10th anniversary of the Guui Station tragedy. At this event, he plans to pledge the establishment of a Citizens' Life and Safety Committee chaired by the Seoul mayor. Jung is expected to declare, "During Oh Se-hoon's 10 years in office, Seoul has always felt unsafe," and, "We will change the standards for life and safety, starting with Seoul city, its affiliated organizations, and sites managed or commissioned by the city."

Afterward, Jung will visit Dongwon Market and Myeonmok Station Plaza in Jungnang-gu, where he plans to strongly criticize the People Power Party candidate Oh Se-hoon's administration over the poor construction of the GTX-A Samsung Station. The day before, Jung had visited the construction site himself, stating, "Safety issues require attention," and questioning, "If there was any interest in safety, how could such matters not have been reported to Mayor Oh?"

In the afternoon, he will visit major areas in Gangbuk to promote his pledges for balanced development between Gangnam and Gangbuk. In particular, he plans to announce seven key regional pledges, including: ▲ Creation of the Chang-dong Rail Yard Digital Bio City ▲ Early completion of GTX-C and completion of a three-dimensional transportation network in the northeastern region ▲ Revitalization of the Gwangwoon University Station area ▲ Restoration of Danghyeoncheon Stream and creation of a riverside cultural park along Jungnangcheon Stream ▲ Transformation of the old Law District Complex into a youth, lifestyle, and sports hub ▲ Installation of solar-powered soundproof tunnels along the section from Nowon Station to Bureamsan Station on Line 4 ▲ Establishment of the Nowon Garden Line connecting rivers, mountains, and parks.

Additionally, he will visit Sanggye Boram Apartment to hold a meeting with the reconstruction promotion committee. He will also discuss redevelopment and reconstruction projects with union members involved in maintenance projects in Jung-gu.

Jung stated, "Redevelopment and reconstruction will not stop even if the mayor changes; in fact, we will proceed faster and more safely."
