With this win, Mayor-elect Lee will lead Ansan’s administration for the 9th term, following his 8th-term leadership, and has set a record as the first mayor in Ansan’s history to serve consecutive terms since the city’s founding.

In his victory speech, Mayor-elect Lee expressed his gratitude to citizens, stating, “This victory belongs to the great people of Ansan.”

He continued, “I will set aside the conflicts and divisions that arose during the election process, and will pursue an administration that brings everyone together solely for the development of Ansan and the happiness of its citizens,” pledging to make unity and harmony the top values of his administration.

Mayor-elect Lee reaffirmed his commitment to advancing Ansan by presenting his core vision for the 9th term—“S.M.A.R.T. Innovation, W.I.S.E.D.O.M.: Nine Major Strategies”—vowing to build on the foundation of innovation established during the 8th term.

He particularly emphasized, “I promised that administration would be proven not by words, but by results,” adding, “I will continue to focus on practical action and tangible outcomes that transform citizens’ lives, rather than showmanship in politics.”

He further stated, “The real transformation of Ansan starts now. Only a united Ansan can build a robust future. I will give my all and run forward once again.”

He also declared his strong determination for the 9th-term administration, saying, “I will make Ansan a city full of appeal, where people are proud to say, ‘Ansan is my hometown’ or ‘I live in Ansan’ wherever they go—a city that is both a great place to live and one where people want to stay.”
