Good afternoon?
I am Mayor of Suyeong District Gang Seong-tae.

“ I will keep running for continuous development of Suyeong
District for the next 20 years! ”

Dear Residents of Suyeong District,

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all our residents who entrusted me in the June 1 local elections with the administration of the eighth term following the seventh term with great support to the degree that it was the largest-margin election win in Busan’s district office history.

As the re-elected mayor, I now feel a heavy sense of duty and will continue to work hard as an administrator with a humble mind without losing my mission when I took the first step as a public official to create "a better Suyeong, a happier Suyeong."

First, I will create a district of hope for young people where families are happy and children enjoy carefree play.
I will make sure to support the cost of postpartum care for mothers, admission support for families sending their young children to elementary schools, and elementary school arts and physical education expenses. In addition, I will support housing loans for young people and newlyweds, and ask questions and seek answers from young people, guaranteeing them a role in the policymaking process of our district.

Second, we will create a safe city for healthy long-living people where health and a safe life are guaranteed.
I will support senior citizens’ active post-retirement life by providing allowances and opening more senior welfare centers and shelters for the elderly. I will also undertake projects to improve as quickly as possible the flood-prone areas near Suyeong Junction and Woori Bank’s Mangmi-dong Branch.

Third, I will create a future eco-friendly Suyeong that serves a leading role among all districts.
Through the Namcheon and Gwangan rainwater/sewage separation pipe construction project and the Gwangalli coastal maintenance and littoral nourishment project, the Gwangalli beach and surrounding areas’ environment will be improved drastically. I will also make sure to create Galmaet-gil in the downtown area and a walkable city linked to the Suyeong River Foot Bridge.

Fourth, we will enhance our image as a cultural tourism city where history and cutting-edge technology coexist.
The Gwangalli Beach will be reborn as the best paddle surfing capital of the world through the hosting of the APP World Tour event, while sponsoring the M-Drone Light Show and creating a beach with flowers all year around. With the funding of the archeological project on the Dongnae Old Fortress Site, we will prove that our Suyeong was the center of Old Busan and the root of Busan’s history.

Fifth, we will create a luxury residential city that everyone envies and wants to live in.
I will establish the Welfare Hanaro Center, where all welfare services are provided in one place, as well as the second People’s Sports Center and the second Lifelong Learning Culture Center, while actively supporting redevelopment and renovation projects in line with the central government’s policy direction.

Sixth, we will focus on restoring daily life, stabilizing people’s livelihood, and revitalizing local commercial districts and the main street economy.
In order to revitalize the local main street economy, the third emergency livelihood stabilization fund of about 17 billion won is being handed out to all residents, or 100,000 won per person, and a basic plan for revitalizing small businesses is under way. In the future, we will continue to help small business owners and the self-employed purchase eco-friendly vehicles and two-wheeled vehicles, as well as a free food waste collection project for small restaurants.

As the Mayor of Suyeong District who is always in the field and one who keeps promises, I will do everything in my capacity to make our district one of the best residential areas in Korea everyone will envy within 20 years’ time from now.

We ask that you watch over us until the end of the next four-year term and become our district office’s companion. Thank you!
