On this day, CEO Nak-yeon Lee also visited Busan and appealed for the support of Busan’s public sentiment, referring to the fact that the special law was handled at the National Assembly plenary session led by the Democratic Party. On this day, the’Double Emocratic Democratic Party 4-7 Busan Mayoral Candidate Election Contest’ was also held at a café on Gadeokdo Island. An official from the passport said, “It is a symbolic meaning to hold the contest on Gadeokdo Island,” and said, “It is for the ruling party to continue the issue of Gadeokdo New Airport not only in the Busan mayoral election, but also in the presidential powers.”
A large number of local residents of Boo, Ul, and Gyeong approve of Gadeokdo New Airport, but opposition to the special law was higher. On the 1st, Real Meter commissioned Waitien on the 26th of last month to survey 500 voters aged 18 and over nationwide (with 95% confidence level and ±4.4% point of sample error). Responses reached 54% (38.5% of’good things’). All the citizens also said that it was “wrong” for 53% of the passage of the Special Act of Gadeokdo New Airport.
According to the passage of the special law, Gadeokdo New Airport is exempted from preliminary feasibility (preliminary) for cost-effectiveness, and is fully funded with government expenses (estimated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport), and various charges are exempted.

In response, the opposition party said, “The Gaduk Airport Special Law is a swift move from the initiative.” “There was about 30% of public opinion against Gadukdo New Airport in Bu, Ul, and Gyeongsang Province, but it was thoroughly excluded.” It was expressed with public sentiment.” “The local residents of Boo, Ul and Gyeong have a desperate need for Gadeokdo New Airport, but they hope that the proceedings are reasonable and go through normal legislative procedures.”
Regarding this, Rep. Park Jae-ho refuted, “This is the result of the public sentiment of the Gyeongnam region, which is not interested in Gadeokdo New Airport,” and said, “The impact of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s reporting that a budget of 28 trillion won will be spent on the construction of Gadeokdo New Airport is great. Kim Hae-yeong, a former Supreme Court member of the Democratic Party, said, “I know that public opinion against the special law is high,” and “I will promote the special law well so that the concerns of the public can be resolved.”
Choi Cheol-young, professor of DU Human Resources Law at Daegu University, said, “After the passage of the Gadeokdo Special Act, there is a continuing request to deal with local long-awaited projects such as Seosan Airfield and Daegu-Gyeongbuk New Airports with special laws. Even if it passes, it is only possible to prevent headwinds by going through the pre-tapping process and other procedures.”
