It is my goal and desire to break the intimidating barrier between the city government and our citizens so that all of us can take a step forward to develop a better Gunpo community.

When I was gratefully elected to this position, I promised you "the competitive city through open-administration" and introduced my motto for Gunpo as "Influential City and Dynamic Citizens." I strongly believe that open-administration represents mutual interaction, communication and participation, which I hope to accomplish for Gunpo.

There is nothing more important than your valuable suggestions, encouragements, compliments and critics. Your honest thoughts and comments truly make Gunpo your city and healthy community.

I will endeavor to reflect your valuable suggestions for the continous development of Gunpo.

All my knowledge, experiences, and passion¡¦¡¦. I will pour out for Gunpo City, and I will never lose my first passion for Gunpo.

I look forward to your participation and support, and I will strive to create Gunpo as a dynamic and transparent city.

Thank you.

Jae-young Ro
Mayor
