In his inaugural address, Lee identified getting key pending projects, including I-Tower and the integrated development project around Guri Station, back on track as a top priority. He said he would also secure future growth drivers by participating in the Topyeong 2 District development project and making use of the agricultural and fishery products wholesale market and former military base sites.

Lee spent 36 years working at Korea Land Corporation, Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), and Incheon Urban Corporation, among others, gaining experience in urban development, housing supply, housing welfare, and the management of public enterprises. He led major public development projects, including new-town construction, free economic zone development, and military base relocation and integrated development projects.

He outlined plans to deliver results that citizens can see and feel, in line with Guri City's policy direction of becoming a “growth-oriented city, a transportation city, an innovative city, and a happy city,” and to develop the corporation into an innovative public enterprise trusted by citizens.

He identified five key priorities: restoring management credibility by getting major pending projects back on track; securing growth areas linked to future industries such as artificial intelligence (AI) and carbon neutrality; advancing safety and management through AI and digital technologies; establishing an organizational culture centered on integrity, fairness, and ethics; and promoting regional cooperation by expanding housing welfare and social contributions.

“Change and innovation at the corporation can be achieved when all employees bring together their expertise and passion and build mutual trust,” Lee said. “I will seek answers in the field, not in the president's office, and build Guri Urban Corporation into an organization that earns citizens' trust, gives employees a sense of pride, and brings vitality to the local community.”
