This election is a historic election to newly develop the stagnant Buk District for 20 years, rebuild conservatism, and crush the tyranny of the Lee Jae-myung (administration).

Speaking to reporters after voting at the Man-deok 2-dong administrative welfare center, Han expressed confidence in the public's sentiment. "I believe the flow of public opinion is clear," he said. He noted that seven opinion polls released before the media blackout period showed him in the lead. Han pledged to do his best with "reverence for public sentiment, earnestness, and desperation."

“

I voted with a great sense of responsibility, earnestly and desperately.

Han criticized his main opponent, Ha Jung-woo of the Democratic Party, and the Democratic Party's Busan mayoral candidate, Jeon Jae-soo. Upon hearing that Ha and Jeon would vote together, Han remarked, "If you can't even vote alone, you can't lead Buk District." He further asserted, "Ha Jung-woo is becoming a big burden to Jeon Jae-soo." Referring to a previous TV debate, Han described Ha as "nervous and irritable throughout" and suggested that "citizens will evaluate the Kim Eo-jun style of reaction."

Regarding Park Min-sik of the People Power Party, Han accused him of "spreading clear false information." He expressed confidence that "the wise citizens of Buk District will make the judgment." Han's wife accompanied him to the early voting station but did not cast a ballot herself. Han explained that his wife wished to vote with her neighbors on the official voting day. "Today, my wife accompanied me when I voted early, and on the official voting day, I plan to see my wife off when she goes to vote," he said.

If you can't even vote alone, you can't lead Buk District.
