The names of the Suwon Veterans Office and the Uijeongbu Veterans Office will change to the Gyeonggi Southern Veterans Office and the Gyeonggi Northern Veterans Office, respectively, starting next year.
The Uijeongbu Veterans Office, established in 1975, has faced criticism that placing the location before the agency name has limitations in representing the 11 cities and counties in its jurisdiction of northern Gyeonggi. The Suwon office faces the same issue.
This renaming follows an amendment to the administrative regulations of the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs. The names of all 15 veterans offices nationwide, including the Suwon and Uijeongbu offices, will be changed starting January 1 next year to reflect their jurisdictional areas.
An official from the veterans office said, "The purpose is to enhance the agency's representativeness and status by changing the agency name to a comprehensive regional name that includes the jurisdiction area."
