The committee has identified 'seeking truth from facts' and 'pragmatism' as its core values, and will be operated as a work-oriented organization capable of quickly reflecting citizens' demands and the mayor-elect's pledges in administration.


This transition committee is characterized by the full deployment of local political and administrative veterans, as well as on-site experts. In particular, through a pragmatic selection process that includes members with experience from the previous (8th term) transition committee, the plan is to carry forward excellent policies, address shortcomings, and thereby minimize any administrative vacuum.


The committee intends to prioritize reviewing policies that have a direct impact on citizens' daily lives, such as revitalizing the local economy and improving welfare and educational environments. At the same time, it will focus its administrative capabilities on making key regional issues—such as expanding the GTX line, improving transportation infrastructure, and developing cultural facilities—visible early on.


To ensure efficient budget review and system improvements, the committee has established three working groups: the first group, responsible for economy, transportation, urban affairs, environment, and peace; the second group, handling planning, finance, administration, and agricultural policy; and the third group, overseeing culture, education, welfare, and health.


The first group is in charge of expanding the GTX line and improving local transportation networks, promoting urban development, and revising local regulations. Participants include Gyeonggi Provincial Council members Son Seongik, Kim Sunhyeon, Lee Hyejeong, and attorney Seol Haewon.


The second group is responsible for reviewing budget structures, ensuring fiscal soundness, improving administrative systems, and establishing directions for agricultural development. Committee members Seo Jeongmin and Seon Horim, along with Gyeonggi Provincial Council members Lee Jongchun and Son Heejeong, are participating.


The third group is tasked with expanding cultural content, improving educational environments, establishing welfare systems, and enhancing access to health and medical services. Participants include secretary Park Eunju and committee members Jeong Deokbong, Han Cheonsu, and Lee Minjae.


The transition committee will be led by Chairman Jo Seonghwan and Vice Chairman Choi Yugak, and will work on detailing the vision and key policy tasks for the 9th term city administration.



Jo Seonghwan, chairman of the transition committee, stated, "The advisory experts and committee members will work closely together to operate a rational and efficient transition committee that resonates with the majority of Paju citizens and public officials." He added, "Based on the mayor-elect's philosophy of pragmatism, we will ensure a stable and successful transition process for the new administration."
