Lee Yu-seon, chief of the Social Welfare Division at Hwaseong City's Eastern Branch Office, received the grand prize at the 37th Integrity and Service Award ceremony held on the 28th at the Korea Press Center International Conference Hall.

From 2009 through last year, Chief Lee conducted field surveys targeting patients hospitalized for six months or longer among medical aid beneficiaries in the region, processed the discharge of improperly hospitalized patients, and prevented unwarranted national medical expense payments, saving 526 million won in medical costs. She also actively worked to resolve difficulties faced by vulnerable groups including multicultural families, North Korean defectors, and child heads of households.
Additionally, as a member of the civil servants volunteer corps, she consistently engaged in volunteer activities at nursing homes and childcare facilities in the region, serving as a role model for fellow and junior public officials.
The Integrity and Service Award is presented to local civil servants of grade 5 and below nationwide who dedicate themselves to their communities through integrity and spirit of service. The award is determined through rigorous screening including public verification of achievements and on-site confirmation. Since its establishment in 1977, it has been awarded annually by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security and JoongAng Ilbo.
