Yongin City (Mayor Lee Sangil) held the appointment ceremony at the City Hall Convention Hall on November 6. The panel members, selected through open recruitment and document screening, will serve until June 30, 2028, when the first half of the ninth popularly elected administration ends.

The panel will work in five divisions: semiconductors and future industries; urban affairs, transportation and construction; education, culture and welfare; the environment, economy and agriculture; and administration and safety. It will meet every six months to review implementation plans and progress for each pledge and make recommendations to the city on areas needing improvement.

Yongin City is currently finalizing adjustments to and reviewing the ninth administration's pledge projects. The city plans to gather input from the newly appointed panel, finalize an "Implementation Plan for Pledge Projects" detailing the schedule, required budget and expected effects for each project, and make it public by the end of the year.

At the appointment ceremony, Mayor Lee Sangil said, "By working to keep the promises we made to residents during the eighth administration, we achieved a high pledge fulfillment rate of about 98%. We also achieved major results that were not among our pledges, including the designation of a national industrial complex and the lifting of restrictions on waterfront areas." He emphasized, "The ethical responsibility of elected officials is demonstrated not through words, but through actions and tangible results."

Mayor Lee added, "In the ninth administration, we will not only faithfully fulfill the pledges we made but also actively pursue whatever is needed for Yongin's future and to improve residents' quality of life, even if it is an issue we did not address during the election campaign." He urged the panel members to "freely propose any tasks the city should pursue, even if they fall outside our pledges."
