He continued, "Today marks the first day of Seongnam's new future with my return. During the election period, I heard from many citizens in the field.

Mayor Shin especially emphasized the importance of stabilizing citizens' livelihoods. He said, "I once again keenly felt that many citizens, particularly those in vulnerable circumstances, are leading difficult lives. With a heartfelt commitment to support each and every person facing hardship, I will prioritize livelihood issues and strive to bring about changes that citizens can truly feel."
