Han Byeong-do, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, visited Daegu on May 28 to pledge full support for the campaign promises of mayoral candidate Kim Boo-kyum, including the integration of the Daegu-Gyeongbuk new airport and a previously stalled administrative merger. He also committed to creating a Daegu that retains its youth through industrial transformation.
During his visit to Kim's campaign rally, Han expressed, "I am here to convey my urgent hope that you will elect Kim. We will surely change Daegu's difficult issues through administration, not politics, with the strength of the ruling party."
Han emphasized that if Kim is elected, he will work with President Lee Jae-myung to realize the new airport project and the administrative merger of Daegu and Gyeongbuk.
"Regarding the airport issue, the most challenging core problem is the financial aspect. We will secure the budget for this within the year," Han stated. He added that the administrative merger would receive 20 trillion won over four years, with 5 trillion won allocated annually, which he believes will significantly transform Daegu and Gyeongbuk.
He concluded, "The only candidate who can overcome Daegu's crisis and make this transformation a reality is Kim. If you elect him, we will turn these promises into reality alongside President Lee. We will show that through industrial transformation, we can create hope in Daegu, where young people are leaving due to a lack of jobs. Please lend your support so we can work for Daegu."
