Namyangju Mayor Choi Hyun-deok has introduced significant fiscal and legislative measures to address local economic and social needs. In early October, the Mayor proposed a second supplementary budget of 2.8643 trillion KRW, a 10.8% increase over the previous supplementary budget. This funding is directed toward livelihood recovery, regional economic revitalization, welfare, and transportation, including subsidies for fuel, small businesses, and elderly care.

By late October, the focus expanded to include legislative advocacy and land regulation. Mayor Choi has requested that the National Assembly allow essential farming facilities in Green Belt areas and distinguish between land speculation and minor violations by elderly farmers. Additionally, the Mayor is addressing rising social welfare costs, noting that the city’s long-term care benefit budget is projected to reach 75.5 billion won this year. He is calling for the national government to increase subsidies to at least 80% to alleviate the city’s financial burden.
