Rep. Han Jun-ho of the Democratic Party of Korea on the 12th officially declared a bid for Gyeonggi governor, saying, "I will complete the Lee Jae-myung administration's pragmatism first in Gyeonggi Province."
Han held a press conference at the National Assembly's communication center that day and said, "Gyeonggi Province is where the change in the Republic of Korea begins first and is felt first," adding, "I will complete it with results."
Han said, "Gyeonggi Province must succeed for the Lee Jae-myung administration to succeed. The Lee Jae-myung administration must succeed for the Republic of Korea and its people to succeed," adding, "I learned pragmatism from President Lee Jae-myung. When I served as chief aide during the days traveling across the country, I ran together through every corner of Gyeonggi Province."
Specifically, Han pledged four key strategies to change the structure of life in Gyeonggi Province. He said he would create ▲ the P10 Project (building 10 Pangyos) ▲ GTX-R (a metropolitan circular ultra-wide-area express rail) ▲ a 30-minute travel zone ▲ four administrative complex campuses by region.
Han said, "The 30-minute travel zone is about creating a right to mobility that allows movement within 30 minutes between any areas by linking GTX-R and P10," adding, "Five third-phase new towns are planned in Gyeonggi Province, and with the goal of job-housing proximity within 30 minutes to Seoul, we will take the areas announced under the Moon Jae-in administration and select five more going forward to build 10 Pangyos and unleash a wave of innovation."
Regarding recent discussions on transferring the Yongin semiconductor national industrial complex to other regions, Han said, "The idea of dividing a national strategic industry among regions reduces industrial policy to a subject of political bargaining," adding, "Let's push ahead with semiconductors in Yongin. This decision will not be changed. It must not be changed."
