Mayor You Deok-yeol answered, "The greatest source of strength that enables me to serve residents is the sense of accomplishment achieved when I am proactive and do my best in everything," fostering mutual understanding.

Dongdaemun-gu plans to hold another session of "World Stories with the Mayor" with rookie employees on July 1st, marking the third anniversary of the 7th local government administration.

Mayor You Deok-yeol of Dongdaemun-gu stated, "I hope the rookie public officials who have connected with Dongdaemun-gu will become honest public servants who do not lose their initial mindset and sincerity," and added, "We will continue to create opportunities for communication with employees to build an honest and flexible organizational culture."
