[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 19th that it selected four exemplary proactive public officials for the first half of this year on the 18th.


The exemplary proactive public officials for the first half of the year are: Kim Yangwon, administrative officer (Construction Division), who led efforts to alleviate parking difficulties by converting idle land in Goheung-eup into a parking lot; Shin Kyungsuk, team leader (Buncheong Culture Museum), who saved billions of won in budget by leasing museum exhibition artifacts free of charge; Song Jinyoung, team leader (Future Industry Division), who, with relentless perseverance, finally obtained permission for cultural heritage alteration that had long been denied; and Go Minchang, team leader (Agricultural Technology Center), who eased farmers' difficulties by reducing rental fees and extending operating hours for agricultural machinery rentals to overcome rural labor shortages and timely farming challenges caused by COVID-19.


The county held active discussions on four criteria?citizen perception, the officer’s proactiveness, creativity, expertise, the importance and difficulty of the task, and potential for dissemination?to select the exemplary proactive public officials.


A county official stated, “In difficult situations such as COVID-19, a proactive attitude from public officials is urgently required. We will provide personnel incentives to exemplary proactive public officials to establish a culture of proactive administration within the public service.”



Meanwhile, Goheung-gun established an ordinance for proactive administration last year to set up an operational system and has recently strengthened support measures, including providing legal counsel fee support to protect public officials.
