This event is expected to go beyond simply commemorating his writing and effectively serve as a "policy campaign kick-off," where he reports his vision as a future "Mayor of Goyang" to citizens, based on the practical capabilities he has proven as a three-term Gyeonggi Provincial Council member and as the head of a public institution.

The most notable aspect of this book launch is the deep policy bond between former president Min and President Lee Jaemyung. Min served as Vice Chair of the Special Committee on Transportation Measures in the transition committee for the 7th popularly elected Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jaemyung, and was a key figure who directly designed what has now become a nationwide success model, the "Lee Jaemyung-style Gyeonggi-type route-bidding semi-public transit system."

Through these books, Min plans to emphasize that he is the only "policy partner" capable of reviving Goyang’s stalled municipal administration and people’s livelihoods over the past four years, by working in close communication with the Lee Jaemyung "People’s Sovereignty Government." In particular, he presents a concrete "Great Transformation of Goyang" roadmap that will embed the Lee administration’s core values of "fairness and communication" into the governance of Goyang City.

The first volume, "New Leap Forward for Goyang Special City," is a "people’s livelihood legislative diary" of Min’s time as a three-term Gyeonggi Provincial Council member standing up to big capital and entrenched interests. It captures the passion of "human locomotive" Min Kyungseon, who has been at the forefront of protecting the rights and interests of Goyang citizens on issues such as the siting of unwanted facilities in Eunpyeong-gu and the struggle over tolls on the Seoul-Munsan private expressway.

The second volume, "The Transportation Revolution That Changes Cities," is the culmination of his hands-on administrative capabilities. It chronicles the management drama in which he transformed Gyeonggi Transit Corporation, which was mired in deficits when he took office, into a sound public enterprise that posted a net profit of 4.7 billion won in just one year (with 7.0 billion won projected for 2025). It also describes in detail citizen-focused achievements such as "Ttok Bus," which received a Presidential Award, and the "integrated dispatch system for call taxis for people with disabilities."

At the event, major opposition figures such as Kim Seungwon, Chair of the Gyeonggi Provincial Chapter of the Democratic Party, Supreme Council member Kang Deukgu, and National Assembly members Lee Giheon (Goyang-si B) and Park Jeong (Paju-eul) are expected to attend in large numbers to lend their support.

Former president Min Kyungseon stated, "Goyang, a special city with a population of 1.1 million, now needs a leader proven by competence, not slogans," adding, "I will proudly subject myself to the judgment of citizens on the perseverance I have shown in resolving civil complaints in the legislative field and on my management ability that revived a public institution."

He added, "I hope this book launch will become a forum for public discussion where we design Goyang’s future together with citizens," and said, "I will pour all the capabilities I have prepared into a new leap forward for Goyang Special City."

Meanwhile, Min Kyungseon graduated from the Graduate School of Public Administration at Yonsei University, served as a member of the 8th, 9th, and 10th Gyeonggi Provincial Councils, and as the first and second president of Gyeonggi Transit Corporation, and is currently serving as Vice Chair of the Policy Committee of the Democratic Party.
