Mayor Lee stated, "I am grateful to the Yongin Green University Alumni Association for organizing today's workshop to promote friendship among members and communication between current students," and added, "Since some students reportedly take courses again even after completing lectures, I believe the future of Yongin agriculture is bright."

The mayor said, "I will provide substantial support to the scientific farming technology of the Yongin City Agricultural Technology Center, such as smart agriculture, and as the president of the Green University, I will work to develop Yongin agriculture and the Green University."
