< Day One of a Public Official's Life >

I presented appointment letters to 39 new public officials.

It was a delightful occasion where new public officials ranging from 25 to 44 years old, each with diverse experiences and stories, were taking their first steps.

For the first time as Governor, I personally presented the appointment letters. Previously, it is said that the heads of each division and department delivered appointment letters to individuals.

As the most senior civil servant in Gyeonggi Province who took my first step into public service 41 years ago, I wanted to personally congratulate my junior colleagues.

It is said that having around 100 family members and acquaintances present together was also a first.

It was my wish for them to spend meaningful and precious time with their families who have loved, raised, and cared for them all these years.

Work hard. Live joyfully.

I hope you become civil servants who are always awake, civil servants who are unconventional.

Like many senior colleagues, I firmly believe you will lead the Gyeonggi Province Office together as capable and dedicated public officials.
