Suncheon-si, Kang Young-seon, Director of Autonomous Administration, Meaningful Retirement

Donation of 10,014,149 Won for Talent Development Scholarship as a Meaningful Contribution

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Kang Young-seon, Director of the Autonomous Administration Bureau of Suncheon City, first entered public service in 1982 and will conclude his 38 years and 9 months of public service this December with an honorable retirement.

On the 24th, Director Kang donated over 10 million won to the Suncheon City Talent Development Scholarship Foundation.

While serving as the Director of Lifelong Learning in 2008, Kang Young-seon promoted the establishment of the Suncheon City Talent Development Scholarship Foundation Supporters Association. Motivated by this, he resolved to one day donate to the Talent Development Scholarship Foundation and gradually saved over 10 million won over 13 years.

Additionally, having served 14,149 days in public service, he made a meaningful donation of 10,014,149 won to commemorate this milestone.

Director Kang Young-seon stated, “Although I had a strong desire for education, I had no choice but to enter the workforce early due to family circumstances. During my time in public service, I wanted to help quench the thirst for learning that I could not fulfill by supporting the future leaders and proud children of Suncheon so they can build a better Suncheon.”

Mayor Heo Seok of Suncheon said, “This is heartwarming news during a difficult time for everyone due to COVID-19. We are grateful for Kang’s dedication and steadfast support for Suncheon City over 38 years, and despite the modest salary of public officials, his generous donation sets a great example for junior public servants.”
