[Asia Economy Reporter Donghoon Jeong] Lee Yong-pyo, Commissioner of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, stated at his farewell ceremony, "I hope the police become trusted, supported, and loved by the public by adhering well to the basics."

On the 7th, Commissioner Lee made these remarks at the farewell ceremony held at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency in Jongno-gu, Seoul, reflecting, "Thanks to your many pieces of advice, the decisions I made were well executed, and everyone fulfilled their roles in their respective positions, so I think I spent 13 months without any major difficulties."

He said, "If I were to summarize the policing philosophy I realized during my 33 years of police service in a few words, it would be 'Complex and unclear instructions are equivalent to none, and vague actions are the same as doing nothing.'" He added, "Living as a free person, I will support the police activities you carry out and always pray for the development of the police."

Lee’s successor, Deputy Commissioner Jang Ha-yeon, will be inaugurated this afternoon.
