[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The Ministry of Government Legislation announced on the 27th that it selected and commended outstanding public officials for proactive administration in the first half of the year.

The Ministry selected 10 out of 19 candidates through the 'Gwanghwamun 1st Street' platform's public review. Afterwards, the Ministry's Proactive Administration Support Committee deliberated and finally selected 6 individuals.

As a result, six people were chosen: Administrative Officer Jeong Seonghee (Administrative Law Innovation Promotion Team), Administrative Officer Lee Jeongeun (Spokesperson's Office), Administrative Officer Lee Hyekyung (Legislation Opinion Presentation Team), Jeong Yeongran (Innovation Administration Audit Officer), Han Aran (General Legislation Support Division), and Baek Seungjun (Operations Support Division).

According to the Ministry, the top public official was responsible for promoting the enactment of the Administrative Basic Act, which provides the legal basis for the duty of proactive administration. Their achievement of converting regional public hearings, which became difficult to hold due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), to an online format was highly praised.

While creating the Administrative Basic Act, they made efforts to communicate sufficiently with the public by conducting legislative notices three times.

Lee Gangseop, head of the Ministry of Government Legislation, said, "The Ministry will prioritize efforts for proactive administration and regulatory innovation," adding, "Through proactive interpretation of laws, presentation of opinions, and legislative review, we will more effectively support proactive administration across all ministries and local governments."
