On this day, Mayor Yoo personally engaged in various activities to resolve residents' inconveniences and strengthen communication with employees.

Mayor Yoo took his first step at 7 a.m. at Cheongnyangni Station Plaza by meeting with environmental public officers. Together with 22 environmental public officers who silently handle tough tasks behind the scenes, he cleaned an approximately 1 km section starting from Exit 4 of Cheongnyangni Station, including the Cheongnyangni Station intersection, leading efforts to create a pleasant street environment.

While cleaning, Mayor Yoo greeted residents he met and engaged in careful communication to learn about any difficulties in their daily lives. After cleaning, he listened attentively to the opinions of the environmental public officers regarding challenges faced during work and areas needing improvement.

Even after returning to the district office, Mayor Yoo continued his efforts to improve communication and organizational culture. At the plaza in front of the district office, he held an integrity campaign and encouraged the staff through announcements within the building, urging them to continue doing their best in their duties based on kindness and integrity.

The communication efforts concluded with an informal discussion with employees. Mayor Yoo spent time having sincere conversations to create a Dongdaemun-gu where employees and residents can empathize and trust each other. He said, “Only when employees are happy can the 340,000 residents be happy,” seeking ways to build an enthusiastic organizational culture based on trust and consideration and forming consensus with the staff.

Mayor Yoo also carefully attended to residents' safety and health. He visited the Dongdaemun-gu Gymnasium, which serves as a vaccination center, inspected the facilities to ensure safe vaccinations for the elderly in the area, and expressed gratitude and encouragement to the health center medical staff, employees, and volunteers who have worked hard.

Additionally, he visited the Seoul Korean Medicine Promotion Center and participated in a plaque ceremony commemorating its selection as a ‘Recommended Wellness Tourism Destination’ hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization.

He then observed the live commerce ‘Naver Shopping’ broadcast filming site, supporting the online market expansion of products from stores in Seoul Yakryeongsi.

Starting the fourth year of the 7th local government, Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “I thank the residents who are overcoming difficulties caused by COVID-19 through mutual consideration and cooperation,” and added, “During the remaining year of the 7th local government, I will continuously communicate to make Dongdaemun-gu a safe and happy place for all residents.”
