The Republic of Korea Civil Servant Award is given to civil servants who have demonstrated outstanding achievements through dedication to the public and proactive work performance, and has been promoted since 2014. This year, a total of 80 recipients were selected, including those awarded the Order of Service Merit, the Order of Civil Merit, the Presidential Citation, and the Prime Minister's Citation.

Officer Chae, who received the Green Stripes Order of Service Merit, the second highest honor among this year's awards, has served onboard the national fisheries patrol vessels for 27 years. Since 2014, he has worked as a captain, guiding safe fishing operations and cracking down on illegal Chinese fishing vessels, contributing to the protection of marine resources and the establishment of fishing order. A Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries official stated, "In particular, last year, he led efforts to expel about 260 Chinese fishing vessels that appeared en masse in the East Sea, defending the East Sea Exclusive Economic Zone, and despite severe weather, he supported emergency transport to rescue fishermen whose lives were in danger due to injuries sustained during fishing operations. He also devoted himself to providing medical and welfare support to fishermen on remote islands and isolated islets."

Meanwhile, on the same day, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries also held an awards ceremony for the '2019 Second Half Excellent Public Officials for Proactive Administration.' Kim Jae-young, an administrative officer at the East Sea Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office, and Park Hong-beom, a senior official in the Port Development Division, who were selected as the best public officials, were the first to apply a contract exception that deferred advance payment deductions during progress payments, contributing to early budget execution and revitalization of the local economy. Outstanding public officials included administrative officer Hwang Jeong-ung and senior official Kim Tae-hong, and encouragement awards went to senior official Park Min-cheol.
