[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seong Seong-hyun, the mayor of Yongsan-gu, is the first four-term mayor in Yongsan-gu.

Having lived in Yongsan for over 40 years and being almost a "Yongsan native," Mayor Seong began his political career in Yongsan as a Yongsan-gu council member during the first term of direct elections, and has served as mayor of Yongsan-gu in the 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 7th terms.

Mayor Seong, who has also served as the chairman of the Seoul Metropolitan Council of District Mayors and the chairman of the National Association of Mayors, County Heads, and District Heads, has established himself as a representative politician of Yongsan with his own competitiveness.

In particular, as a three-term mayor consecutively since the 5th term, he has promoted major projects that establish Yongsan's historical identity, such as the construction of the "Yu Gwan-sun Martyrs Memorial" and the "Lee Bong-chang Memorial Hall," successfully creating the urban brand of Yongsan-gu.

Additionally, the Yongsan Modern and Contemporary History Museum has received approval from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and is now moving forward with full-scale project implementation.

Mayor Seong also took the lead in carrying out promotions and personnel transfers earlier than other autonomous districts in Seoul as the year-end approached.

This is interpreted as consideration for employees, allowing not only senior officials but also staff sufficient time for work handover, enabling stable organizational management.

Meanwhile, Mayor Seong plans to hold the "2020 Year-End Ceremony" online on the 30th, a day before the last day of the year on the 31st, to encourage the hard work of employees throughout the year.

Because of this, on the last day of the year, the 31st, employees are being allowed to leave work as soon as they finish their main tasks after arriving at work.

On the afternoon of the 31st, Mayor Seong will also visit the "7 Patriotic Martyrs" enshrined in Hyochang Park, including Baekbeom Kim Gu, with a minimal number of people.

A public relations officer of Yongsan-gu stated, "The mayor carried out personnel changes early, which seems to be a consideration to allow employees to smoothly hand over their work," adding, "It appears to be a move reflecting the experience and maturity of a four-term mayor."
