Following the launch of the Namyangju Citizen Sovereignty Committee on June 11, Mayor-elect Choi attended the plaque ceremony for the Bongseonsa Mountain Gate "Gyohaeseonlim Daebonsan Unaksan Gate" on June 12. On June 13, he participated in the Namyangju Walking Festival and the Namyangju Badminton Association Club Tournament, taking time to communicate with citizens.

This series of activities appears to be aimed at listening to citizens' voices directly and checking on local issues and livelihood tasks ahead of the official launch of the 9th popularly elected administration.

At the event venues, Choi received congratulations and support from citizens, while also listening to various opinions regarding everyday inconveniences and municipal administration.

Choi stated, "Many citizens have asked me to work hard for a new Namyangju," adding, "The more I hear the vivid voices of our citizens, the greater sense of responsibility I feel. I will faithfully reflect citizens' expectations and wishes in municipal administration."

Furthermore, on the afternoon of June 13, Choi visited the Jeong Yak-yong Library to meet and encourage participants of the "Climate Justice March," which started in Guri.

Choi expressed his gratitude to the citizens who joined the march to raise awareness of the importance of responding to the climate crisis and preserving the ecosystem, despite the hot weather. In particular, he sympathized with a student from Geumgok High School who remarked, "Adults must take action right now," emphasizing the social responsibility for addressing the climate crisis and protecting the environment.

At the event site, opinions were also shared on measures to preserve the habitat environment of endangered and protected bird species living in the Wangsukcheon area.

Choi said, "Wangsukcheon is a precious ecological space where a variety of life thrives, so meticulous protection measures are needed." He added, "Since the dredging area near Toegyewon coincides with the breeding season of the Long-billed Plover, appropriate action seems necessary."

He continued, "Disaster prevention measures to prepare for the rainy season are also absolutely essential for the safety of our citizens," emphasizing, "I will closely examine the field to ensure that the values of environmental preservation and preparation for the rainy season do not conflict, and will seek balanced solutions."
