When construction begins on the Yongin Advanced System Semiconductor Cluster National Industrial Complex, where Samsung Electronics is expected to invest over 1,000 trillion won, there will be enormous changes in Idong-eup."

He also noted, "The expansion project for National Road No. 45 has entered the bidding stage and will proceed rapidly, and we will accelerate the development of the specialized semiconductor new city, which will cover an area of 690,000 pyeong."

Mayor Lee expressed his commitment to supporting compensation and relocation issues that residents may face during development. He stated, "The city will work to ensure that, just like with the national industrial complex, compensation and relocation for the new city project proceed smoothly."

He also introduced plans to expand cultural and leisure facilities. "We plan to enhance cultural and arts spaces by building new performance venues and art museums, and we will create sports and leisure facilities in the area stretching from Yongdeok Reservoir to Idong Reservoir, making it a popular destination for citizens," Mayor Lee said.
