Mayor Lee Jaejun: "We Will Complete Suwon's Grand Transformation by Changing Each Citizen's Life"

Lee Jaejun, Mayor of Suwon, stated, "We will complete the great transformation of Suwon by changing the lives of each and every citizen."

At the "9th Mayoral Term Suwon Grand Transformation Vision Report Meeting" held on October 1 at the Suwon Convention Center, Mayor Lee emphasized, "For the 9th mayoral term, the benchmark for Suwon's city administration will be 'how much have the citizens' lives actually changed.' Only when the monthly cost of living decreases, small business owners see their sales improve, and quality jobs are created, will citizens truly feel that things have changed."

He went on to say, "We will concretely improve citizens' lives," presenting three figures: '1049', '2700', and '140'.

1,049 refers to the annual amount in living expenses (1,049,000 won) that a household of five can save by receiving support for the three major costs of transportation, education, and healthcare. 2,700 refers to the amount of debt (270 billion won) that Suwon repaid during the 8th mayoral term. 140 is the number of detailed tasks (140) that Suwon City will implement and manage during the 9th mayoral term.

For the completion of the 'Suwon Grand Transformation,' the core vision of the 9th mayoral term, the city administration will focus on three goals: a 'city that ensures quality of life and stability,' a 'city fostering coexistence through culture and tourism,' and a 'city advancing research in cutting-edge science.'

Mayor Lee added, "We will reduce citizens' living expenses and increase their financial well-being. Moreover, our aim is to make Suwon a place people visit, stay, spend money locally, and wish to return to." He continued, "We will build a structure in which research institutions and businesses gather, investments follow, and that growth leads to more quality jobs and opportunities for citizens."

The operating principles for Suwon City are listening and communication—asking citizens and basing policies on their voices; measuring results through citizens' direct experience of change; and responsibility for the future—ensuring today's decisions and investments lay the foundation for Suwon's tomorrow.

Mayor Lee promised, "We will continuously listen to feedback from the field, repeatedly review, evaluate, and improve our policies. Together with our citizens, we will surely complete the great transformation of Suwon."
