A Warm-Hearted Man with Tears for the Marginalized

Park In-ja (54), the wife of Lee Yun-hee, the independent candidate for Suwon mayor, was interviewed about what kind of person her husband is at home, why he should become mayor, and what role she would like to play as a partner if he becomes mayor.

● Our Candidate as a Husband and Head of Household

-He has an unwavering passion for his work. Having grown up struggling in rural areas as a child, he is a warm-hearted man who sheds tears whenever he sees people who are poor or marginalized in society.

● How We Handle Marital Conflicts

-We don't really have marital fights, so I don't remember much, but there was what seemed to be one fight during our early marriage. He has a humorous and easy-going personality, so even when he gets upset, it's brief and quickly resolved.

● What Our Candidate Has Been Interested in Normally

-He is always thinking about how to help those who are struggling and marginalized, and he is involved in social organizations in the community, contemplating what work needs to be done for regional development. Like all parents, he is very interested in his children's education, but rather than forcing them, he provides guidance so they can develop their character autonomously.

● Why Our Candidate Should Become Suwon Mayor

-There are so many reasons that I cannot even enumerate them all. First, he has devoted himself to the development of the local community for over ten years and has volunteered for those who are struggling and marginalized. He serves as chairman of the Gyeonggi Province Volunteer Council and chairman of the Gyeonggi Province Alpine Federation, and has engaged in countless volunteer activities including mission work for the blind, support for children with disabilities, free meal sponsorships, and home repairs for national merit participants. I would like to ask which mayoral candidate has dedicated themselves to their local community and consistently engaged in volunteer work.

My husband is an expert in urban development. With 25 years of service at Suwon City Hall, he has experience in administration and urban development projects, and as a representative director of an urban development company for over ten years, I am confident he is a prepared mayor.

While running his business, he has given back to society with the money he earned. Taking on the role of director of the Samho Art Center, he has presented free performances of high-caliber classical music to Suwon citizens over the past three years. I believe that Lee Yun-hee must be elected as mayor to develop Suwon into a city where history, culture, and the arts truly thrive.

● As the Wife of the Suwon Mayor, I Would Like to Do This

-Until the mayor's term ends, I will engage in volunteer work for those who are struggling and marginalized in Suwon. I will work together with the elderly, women, people with disabilities, childcare, single parents, vulnerable groups, and social welfare facilities. I will always maintain a humble attitude while caring and praying for those working hard behind the scenes and serving citizens as our principals.
