The construction project of the 2nd Gyeongin Line is a long-awaited project in Yeonsu-gu aimed at alleviating the inconvenience of metropolitan public transportation for residents due to the lack of a metropolitan railroad network, reducing travel time, and revitalizing the local economy.
Lee Jae-ho, Mayor of Yeonsu-gu, stated, "This signature campaign represents not just the achievement of a simple goal but a strong expression of the residents' desire for the prompt construction of the 2nd Gyeongin Line," adding, "We will deliver the voices of Yeonsu-gu residents to the central government departments and strongly urge the swift promotion of the 2nd Gyeongin Line."
