Governor Lee Jae-myung Vows to "Present Truth Confidently" One Day Before Gyeonggi Provincial Inspection

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Park No-hun] Governor Lee Jae-myung of Gyeonggi Province, one day ahead of the Gyeonggi Province state inspection, vowed to "present the truth confidently and unapologetically" regarding the so-called 'Daejanmdong incident.'

Governor Lee announced on the 17th through SNS that "through the state inspection, I will present myself as a responsible figure of Gyeonggi provincial administration with humility and confidence," and stated "even if there is political attack, I will respond unapologetically without being swayed."

The Governor said "policies that started in Seongnam have become those of Gyeonggi Province, and Gyeonggi's livelihood policies are spreading nationwide," and expressed "I always hold gratitude in my heart for the time and opportunities you have given me to strengthen myself as a politician Lee Jae-myung and to become a larger vessel."

Finally, Governor Lee pledged "although there will be many difficulties, I will do my best to ensure the state inspection does not become political strife. Once again, I will ensure the state inspection becomes one that raises the pride of Gyeonggi residents and provincial civil servants."

<I will present the truth confidently and unapologetically>
I will appear as a witness at tomorrow's Gyeonggi Province state inspection. As Governor, I will take this responsibility seriously in my final state inspection.
Some people worry about whether I might face humiliation from opposition party members. However, there is no need to worry too much.
Through the state inspection, I will present myself as a responsible figure of Gyeonggi provincial administration with humility and confidence. Even if there is political attack, I will respond unapologetically without being swayed.
The results will differ from the intentions of the People Power Party. Rather, it will be a good opportunity to demonstrate to the people my capabilities in achieving the results of the Daejanmdong development project and recovering public interest benefits by breaking through persistent opposition from the central government and the legislature.
I will make efforts to ensure that the distorted and manipulated truth about the Daejanmdong project is conveyed in full to the people through opposition parties and the media.
I am more concerned that the many administrative achievements of Gyeonggi Province will be overshadowed by political strife and not receive proper recognition.
During the past three years and three months of my term as Governor, there have been many Gyeonggi administrative achievements that have achieved "great results through small but significant changes."
Stream valley maintenance and eradication of illegal private lending, supply of healthy fruits to daycare centers, provision of rest areas for migrant workers, renaming of the Seoul Metropolitan Area First Circular Expressway... and most recently, the toll-free conversion of the Ilsan Bridge—all are major achievements of Gyeonggi provincial administration.
The number one approval rating for provincial administration created by 13.8 million residents is my greatest source of pride.
Policies that started in Seongnam have become those of Gyeonggi Province, and Gyeonggi's livelihood policies are spreading nationwide.
All of this is thanks to the residents of Seongnam and Gyeonggi Province. I always hold gratitude in my heart for strengthening myself as a politician Lee Jae-myung and for the time and opportunities you have given me to become a larger vessel.
Although there will be many difficulties, I will do my best to ensure the state inspection does not become political strife. Once again, I will ensure the state inspection becomes one that raises the pride of Gyeonggi residents and provincial civil servants.
