Hwaseong City Mayor Jeong Myeong-geun Presents Commendation to Official Jo Seong-jun for Reporting Precious Metals Found in Abandoned Safe

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyuk] Hwaseong Special City Mayor Jeong Myeong-geun presented a commendation to Official Jo Seong-jun on the 16th for discovering precious metals in an abandoned safe at a resource facility and reporting the matter to police.

On April 9, Official Jo Seong-jun discovered precious metals worth tens of millions of won inside an abandoned safe while organizing waste at a resource facility in Hwaseong. He immediately reported the matter to the Hwaseong Western Police Station, requesting assistance in finding the owner of the lost property.

Through this commendation presentation, the city plans to promote a culture of integrity in public service and further enhance public trust.

Additionally, the city plans to share another case from 2019, in which an official found precious metals in a pile of scrap metal and returned them to the owner while declining any reward, as an exemplary case of integrity and responsibility in Hwaseong's public service sector.

Mayor Jeong Myeong-geun stated, "I express my deep gratitude to Official Jo for quietly fulfilling his duties in ordinary daily life and demonstrating integrity and uprightness beyond compare. This is a touching case that shows how the righteous judgment of a public official and Hwaseong resident can resonate deeply throughout civil society."
