The badge recipients shared their reflections on their party activities and expressed their intention to work even harder with a strong sense of loyalty to the party.

Chairman Yang Bu-nam stated, “The meaning contained in this badge is a token of gratitude and respect from all Gwangju party members for the efforts and dedication in protecting the Democratic Party and democracy for over 20 years. Starting with this badge awarding ceremony, we will operate the city party following the opinions of merit party members and open a true ‘era of party member sovereignty’ that respects the will of party members, beginning in Gwangju.”
