As the educational level of Seoul district public officials gradually rises, the number of officials from these universities occupying positions such as media team heads and press assistants, which play important roles in district publicity, is steadily increasing.

This trend is also due to Seoul district mayors increasingly recognizing the importance of publicity work and tending to assign personnel with good academic backgrounds to publicity departments whenever possible.

A publicity director of a district office analyzed, "As the difficulty of finding employment for college graduates intensifies, many prestigious university graduates pass the Seoul public official exam, and as district publicity work becomes increasingly important, it seems that more of these graduates are gradually entering these positions."
