Hyunmin Cha stated, "North Korean defectors face significant difficulties in finding employment and often live economically unstable lives," adding, "This amendment was proposed to help North Korean defectors achieve stable livelihoods and self-reliance within the local community."

Assemblyman Cha emphasized, "Stable settlement for North Korean defectors goes beyond simple living support; it is about helping them become self-reliant," and added, "We will continue to work on effective support and policies to help them lead independent lives."
