Suwon Names Oh Jae-seung as October's "Kindness King" Civil Servant

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Special City has named Oh Jae-seung, a civil servant at the Gwoun-dong Administrative Welfare Center in Gwonseon District, as October's "Kindness King" civil servant.

The selection committee for the Kindness King award evaluated 24 candidates for "kind civil servant" praised by citizens based on △case difficulty △courtesy △citizen satisfaction △and resolution level, and selected Oh Jae-seung, who achieved the highest score, as the "Kindness King of the Month."

A citizen who recommended Oh Jae-seung as a kind civil servant said, "I was impressed by civil servant Oh Jae-seung's spirit of service in attending to citizens with utmost dedication despite physical discomfort following surgery," and "He kindly wrote down information character by character to guide me, as I have difficulty hearing, and encouraged me with a smile."

Oh Jae-seung said, "Among those who visit the Welfare Team, many have mobility difficulties, and I wanted to ensure they didn't have to make a second trip, so I provided guidance as detailed as possible," adding, "I'm very grateful to be selected as the Kindness King. I will continue to fulfill my duties faithfully in a manner befitting the title of Kindness King," he added.

Meanwhile, the city selects a "Kindness King" civil servant each month to promote a culture of kindness in public service, and awards a certificate in the name of the Suwon Mayor. Kind civil servant candidates who were not selected as the Kindness King of the month receive mobile coffee gift cards.

Kind civil servant candidates are civil servants who have received a "Green Card" from citizens and those who have received praise on the Suwon City website's "Praise" bulletin board. The Green Cards displayed at each dong Administrative Welfare Center are postcards where citizens can write commendations for kind civil servants.
