[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Gap-dong] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 31st that it has carried out regular personnel reshuffles for directors and vice heads effective January 1, 2025.

The province explained that the reshuffle was conducted under the principle of recruiting outstanding personnel with performance and competence based on administrative stability, while balancing considerations such as civil service examination and non-examination backgrounds, regional distribution between northern and southern areas, seniority, and harmony between new and experienced personnel.

In terms of harmony between new and experienced personnel, Park Rae-hyuk, director of the Climate and Environmental Policy Division, was appointed as director of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, and Park No-geuk, vice governor of Gapyeong County, was appointed as director of the Transportation Bureau. Those with administrative experience and seasoned expertise include Kim Sang-soo, director of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, who was appointed as director of the Autonomous Administration Bureau, and Cho Jang-seok, director-general, who was appointed as head of the Gyeonggi Northern Special Autonomous District Promotion Division. The province expects to strengthen intergenerational balance and cooperation within the organization and maximize administrative capacity.

Additionally, directors-general who have played key roles in major provincial departments have been transferred to vice head positions to strengthen cooperation between the province and cities/counties.

Accordingly, Director-General Jeong Gu-won and Director-General Nam Dong-gyeong were transferred to Grade 2 vice head positions in Hwaseong City and Bucheon City, respectively, and Director-General Kim Mi-sung was promoted to a female vice head position and transferred to Gapyeong County. Section Chiefs An Chi-kwon, Ma Sun-heung, Lee Tae-jin, and Yu Ho-guk were transferred to Grade 3 vice head positions in various cities and counties. The province noted that Director-General Kim Mi-sung, in particular, was selected as a female vice head in recognition of her contributions.

In addition, Seong Ki-chul, director-general who previously served as director of the Financial Commission's Structural Improvement Policy Division and director of the Financial Intelligence Analysis Institute's Planning and Administration Division, was recruited as Economic Planning Officer, a new position to be established on January 8. This personnel move is a strategic decision to proactively respond to an unprecedented economic crisis, with the goals of stabilizing the local economy and revitalizing the people's livelihoods. The province plans to pursue local economic revitalization in earnest by implementing more professional and systematic economic policies through economic experts.
