Governor Lee Cheolwoo Wins Third Term: "Will Open New Skies with Airport and Compete with Capital Region through TK Administrative Integration"

On June 4, Lee Cheolwoo, who succeeded in his bid for a third term as Governor of North Gyeongsang Province, expressed his thoughts on the election victory, saying, "This victory is a solemn mandate from the people of Gyeongbuk to protect the province and make it the center of South Korea's new era of local autonomy."

Governor Lee stated, "During the campaign, as I held the warm hands of residents throughout Gyeongbuk, I felt that the weight of their lives is by no means light." He added, "Concerns about youth employment, worries about healthcare and care for the elderly, the livelihoods of small business owners and farmers and fishers— I will deeply engrave all of these voices in my heart."

Governor Lee Cheol-woo of Gyeongbuk Province and his wife, who succeeded in winning a third term, are receiving congratulatory flowers worn around their necks.

He further pledged, "Through the integrated new airport, I will open the skies of Gyeongbuk, and with the administrative integration of Daegu and Gyeongbuk, I will create a grand pathway for competing confidently with the capital region and advancing onto the world stage."

Governor Lee added, "Through high-tech industry and energy, a transformation in agriculture, and culture and tourism, I will make Gyeongbuk not a place where young people leave, but one to which they return with dreams. In areas still suffering from the pain of wildfires and disasters, I will offer even warmer support, and I will open the path to balanced development so that the northern region, the east coast, the western region, and the southern region can all rise together."

Governor Lee stated, "I promised to dedicate the life I have regained to Gyeongbuk and South Korea. I will keep that promise without fail," and added, "I will work to restore trust in the conservative right, and I will do everything I can to safeguard liberal democracy and the future of young people in South Korea."
