Jeon said, "Today is not the day Jeon Jin-sook won, but the day I received the residents' mandate to create a better Buk-gu and a better Republic of Korea," adding, "With a heavy sense of responsibility, I will steady my heart as a representative of the people."

She continued, "I will stand firmly against the incompetent, ruthless, and irresponsible Yoon Seok-yeol administration. I will never back down under any circumstances to revive the collapsed livelihood," promising, "I will do my best to restore democracy and normalize the country."

Furthermore, she said, "I will work with the residents of Buk-gu to make Buk-gu the heart of Gwangju, a tourist city overflowing with jobs, a cutting-edge industrial city leading the future, and a cultural city full of excitement and joy," emphasizing, "As always, I will carry out legislative activities that communicate continuously."

She added, "I will listen attentively to each person's pain, joy, difficulties, and all aspects of daily life, working with sincerity and urgency."
