At the closing ceremony, Chairman Seok Man-jin said, “The 8th council, which set sail in July 2018, carried out various policy developments and active council activities for the residents, directly listened to the voices of the residents through forums and meetings, and strengthened communication with the residents by breaking down the walls of the Hapcheon County Council through live broadcasts of plenary and standing committee meetings.” He added, “I express my respect and gratitude to all former council members who did their best during their terms, ranging from a short 4 years to a long 8 years.”

During its 4-year term, the 8th Hapcheon County Council held 38 sessions and processed 719 agenda items.
